Europa, where art thou?

"The pieces in this concert represent to me, as a classically trained musician, and as an Italian growing up in a catholic culture, the standards, the classics of aesthetic and ethical beauty, ideals.
"As I hear them and am transported back to that young flautist, I remember the other ideals that fired up my growth as a human: the EU ideals of my generation. As soon as the Maastricht Deal was signed in 1993, I migrated, and was part of the movement of people so welcome to our young hearts. Now still moving within the EU, it's impossible to remember that utopian longing (echoed in the choral pieces) without sadness, anger, alienation for all of what we have witnessed since then, and for how that ideal has turned into privilege.
