We do not perform classical music. This music is not classical. Or at least, it hasn’t always been. The music we know as classical was once avant-garde, composed mostly by young people, without any particular assurance that it would be liked, without any guarantee of success. All classical music was contemporary, but not all contemporary music becomes classical. Time is magnanimous and leaves to posterity only what is truly worth listening to. Of the hundreds of contemporary composers to Mozart, history has saved very few, and if the history of music appears so well-defined by great musicians, it is because time cleanses the superfluous, spares us what is unnecessary, and eliminates the redundant. There are those who do this work even before history intervenes, who engage in a complex exercise of identifying quality as it arises. This is Milan Musica, an association that safeguards the sacred fire of our art, that is, the research, experimentation, the drive for the evolution of language, the development of new expressive forms, keeping alive the rich repertoire of today’s music and the music of the twentieth century, performing the important public function of supporting new music. This music, written by composers of today, shares with the classics the same doubts, the same turmoil, the same opposing forces, the same voracious curiosity, and the same relentless desire to know, to push further, to break the mold and revolutionize the parameters, to leave a mark in History and to contribute to all of humanity, starting with their peers. Thus, Filidei alongside Debussy, because history, as Vico teaches, is made of cycles and recurrences. Going to a concert sometimes means this: contracting the timeline, or bending it, and finding oneself face to face with the past, as on a folded sheet of paper, not so much to be catapulted into the past, but rather to throw Debussy into the present, to make him speak to Filidei, and to realize how, in essence, they are quite similar.
