The project

The “Archivio storico Tullio Serafin” association calls for the year 2018 the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the death of orchestra conductor Tullio Serafin.
The project intends to highlight the memory of the famous orchestra conductor involving the main institutions where he conducted, as well as to let a wider audience, not only of Opera lovers, know his story and his contribution to music and melodrama.
Therefore, the association, also relying on the involvement of other cultural institutions and cities interested in the initiative, intends to celebrate this recurrence next year as a promoter, and aggregator of a global and multidisciplinary calendar dedicated to the figure of Tullio Serafin and his story.

The project

The Tullio Serafin project “call for celebration” is an extensive invitation to the community of music and melodrama for the 50th anniversary of the death of Maestro Tullio Serafin. In general, the main aim is to start a campaign to raise awareness and condivision of the project which may eventually lead to the realization of initiatives, ideas, events and anything else that is deemed necessary to remember the figure of the Maestro in 2018, involving the greatest number of theaters, institutions and the widest public.
Anniversary celebrations are a very important event that we hope may see full and participatory involvement of the whole community of music and melodrama and in particular of local and national and international institutions that were in direct contact with Maestro Tullio Serafin.
