The project\, promoted by the Pistoletto Cittadellarte Foundation in collaboration with the City of L’Aquila\, transforms the city into a laboratory for social regeneration inspired by Michelangelo Pistoletto’s principles of Demopraxia and Trinamica. \nThe exhibition is not merely a display\, but a strategic initiative that places culture at the center of development: the Maestro’s works interact with the objects and books provided by local organizations\, creating a collective narrative of L’Aquila’s identity. The “Third Paradise” installation\, composed of chairs loaned by local organizations\, becomes a visual symbol of collective intelligence and shared responsibility. \nThe Opera Demopratica redefines the role of Cultural and Creative Enterprises (CCEs) as drivers of connection between industry\, the nonprofit sector\, and citizens. Through a dynamic mapping project that pays homage to the city’s 99 founding castles\, the initiative aims to break down traditional barriers between culture\, the economy\, and social impact. “Cultural Ecosystem” is the first step in a participatory process that will accompany the city throughout the year\, culminating in the Demopratic Forum in May\, to define new forms of cultural governance and urban sustainability.

Barattelli” Concert Society of L’Aquila\, promoted in conjunction with L’Aquila’s designation as the 2026 Italian Capital of Culture\, a high-profile event dedicated tothe evolution of opera direction will be held.

This moment of dialogue between established artists and the next generation reinforces L’Aquila’s role as a laboratory open to the arts. \nFREE ADMISSION\nThe event is being streamed live on the Società Aquilana dei Concerti’s Facebook page.

Barattelli” Aquila Concert Society. The stars of the event arethe Ars Trio of Rome\, a leading force in Italian chamber music\, and the percussion ensemble Ars Ludi\, winner of the prestigious Silver Lion at the 2022 Venice Music Biennale. \nThe program explores the 20th century through the themes of “quotation” and sonic memory. The opening features the genius of Charles Ives with his Trio\, a work that blends classical and folk music in a revolutionary polyrhythmic composition. This is followed by the ethereal poetry of Tōru Takemitsu’s *Rain Tree*\, a piece for three percussionists inspired by Japanese aesthetics\, in which sound emerges from silence like raindrops. \nThe highlight of the evening is Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 15\, presented in Viktor Derevianko’s historic chamber music arrangement for trio and percussion. An enigmatic work\, approved by the composer himself\, in which references to Rossini and Wagner become clues to an intimate and allusive spiritual testament. An unmissable musical journey that combines tradition and experimentation in the heart of L’Aquila\, the 2026 Capital of Culture. \nFOR INFORMATION AND TICKETS\nwww.barattelli.it URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/ars-trio-and-ars-ludi-80th-season-of-the-bonaventura-barattelli-aquila-concert-society/ LOCATION:Park Auditorium – Renzo Piano\, Avenue of the Gold Medals\, L'Aquila\, AQ\, 67100\, Italy CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/ards-ludi-ars-trio.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="%E2%80%9CB.

The narrative stands out for its original staging\, in which the mining environment becomes an active protagonist thanks to a complex soundscape composed of the clatter of mine cars\, dust\, and the whinnying of horses\, transforming the toil of the underground into pure theatrical poetry. Through this visual and auditory language\, the production pays tribute to the 262 victims of the fire on August 8\, 1956—136 of whom were Italian immigrants—transforming the memory of a tragic workplace accident into a collective ritual of reflection and hope for the community of L’Aquila. \nFOR INFORMATION AND TICKETS\nwww.ciaotickets.com\nTSA Box Office: 0862 410956 and 3485247096.
