Ensemble Practice
GUEST PERSPECTIVE
When Art and Music Create a Shared Listening Space
Giovanni Acquilino, 2025 Cohort Member, Global Leaders Institute
What does visual art have to do with listening?
It’s an unusual question—but one that’s well worth exploring, as I discovered recently when I attended Sguardi Paralleli (Parallel Glances) – Art Therapy and Autism: Art as Language, an exhibition held in Alassio, Italy and curated by art therapist Carla Paura.
In Genoa, an Ensemble for Every Phase of Life
Lara Camia, Project Manager, Trillargento and Matteo Guerrieri, Artistic Director and Conductor, Trillargento
Trillargento is a community-based music program founded in Genoa, Italy, that explores how ensemble music practice can foster social inclusion, personal growth, and cultural participation. Over the years, we’ve grown into a multi-layered ecosystem of ensembles, each responding to a specific need but together forming a single educational journey that integrates musical development with social and emotional learning.
