Gilberto Bernardini, then President of the Normale, considered music an integral part of scientific and humanistic culture and intellectual enrichment and thought that as such it should also be part of the Scuola Normale.
Thanks to the synergy between Bernardini and the Maestro Pietro Farulli – who wanted to open the university to musical culture – in 1967 the Concerts of the Normale were inaugurated by the Quartetto Italiano, an ensemble which has left a profound mark on the history of musical interpretation.
From 1967 to today – under the management first of Piero Farulli, then of Andrea Mascagni (1987-1993), and lastly of Carlo de Incontrera – the concert season has become a tradition at Scuola Normale. This tradition includes a choir, the Coro Vincenzo Galilei, introduced by Farulli as well some 30 years ago as an integral part of his musical program.
These forty years of activity have always been characterized by both tradition and innovation: On one hand there has always been space reserved for music from Medieval to Renaissance, up to the Baroque, and on the other hand attention has always been given to modern and contemporary productions.
Another important element has been the importance which has been given from the beginning to young musical talent. Initially the concerts included a young string quartet from the Music School of Fiesole, subsequently every season has included concerts by students from the Music Academy of Imola.
The variety of the repertoire of every season and their organization have always privileged the formation of the students and all the public towards good taste and sensitivity towards music.
The Concerts of the Normale provide a season of varying musical periods and styles, of instrumental interpretation and shifting composition genres – even by the same composer – which help participants better assess and understand the innovative and experimental expression of contemporary music.
