At the heart of this new edition is the value of the ensemble: playing in a large group requires mutual listening, the ability to engage in dialogue, and a shared sense of responsibility. Each musician makes an active contribution to the collective outcome, developing both musical and interpersonal skills within an environment of continuous collaboration. The ensemble thus becomes a space for personal and professional growth, where individual differences are transformed into a shared strength.
The event is organized with the support of the Fondazione Cariplo, as part of the project Cammini d’ascolto: il valore dell’ensemble, and the Fondazione ASM, and thanks to the collaboration of Comune di Brescia, the Province di Brescia, the Regione Lombardia, the Associazione Lampedée, the Der Mast cultural space, the Associazione I-Jazz, and Bistrot 19.
