From 7th to 19th November CLUSTER, Lucca’s Contemporary Music Association, starts its ninth year of activity with a novelty: the CLUSTER Music Festival. These are twelve days dedicated to new CDs, book presentations and the Cluster Music Festival. The Festival includes meetings with composers, concerts, as well as scientific discoveries on brainwaves and their beneficial effects on humans reacting to sound waves: all organized in the name of contemporary music with free entrance, thanks to the contribution of the Fondazione Banca del Monte di Lucca.

On Sunday, November 12, at 5 pm, at the Oratorio di S. Giuseppe (Duomo di Lucca) there’s a concert by the Moto Contrario Ensemble consisting of Emanuele Dalmaso, sax; Riccardo Terrin, trumpet; Andrea Mattevi, viola; Marco Longo, piano; Cosimo Colazzo, piano and direction.

The afternoon music program includes pieces from Cluster members Alessandro Polito and Antonio Agostini, as well as pieces by K. Penderecki, C. Colazzo, F. Quintero, G. Scelsi and M. Longo.
