event promoted by theComune di Spoleto
in collaboration with Spoleto62 Festival of 2 Worlds
The "Area of the Roman Amphitheater and the Monasteries of the Star and the Palace" covers an area of about 16,000 square meters and includes two former monasteries, with their remarkable cloisters, the ruins of the Roman amphitheater and a complex system of former barracks, evidence of a very rich historical-urban stratification. The Comune di Spoleto is engaged in a project for the redevelopment and reuse of this area, of absolute historical and artistic interest, which represents a substantial part of the urban center, a real city within the city, from many years in a state of neglect. Inserted in the monumental complex of the Amphitheater and recently acquired and brought to light by the Comune di Spoleto, an archaeological area of the former Minervio Barracks is hosting a series of concerts this year to curated by the Conservatory of Perugia.

The Morlacchi Conservatory of Perugia is the only State Institution of Higher Education in Artistic Music present in Umbria with the purpose of higher education, specialization, research and musical production. Founded more than two hundred years ago as a Music Institute, and erected into a Conservatory of Music in 1974, it definitively acquired, in 1999, the status of a university-level institution. It is considered among the most vital and proactive conservatories in Italy, both for the prestige of its teaching staff and for the quality, quantity and continuity of its artistic production. It relies on the professionalism of 102 tenured faculty and about 600 students enrolled in institutional courses; it awards three-year (First Level) and two-year specialist (Second Level) degrees. There is also an official propaedeutic course of study, which takes care of the training of younger students for later access to institutional courses. Teaching subjects include courses for all instruments. There is also a department of Jazz Music and New Music Technologies (Electronic Music) equipped with an excellent and technologically advanced laboratory. Instrumental practice is complemented by theory and ensemble subjects such as Music Theory, Harmony, History of Music, Ensemble Music and from Chamber, Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra from Chamber, Choir, Children's and Youth Choir. Finally, the educational offerings are enriched by the possibility of taking individual courses, which are accessed through an entrance exam, and free courses, released from traditional and institutional paths, open to all without age limits, which are accessed through a simple aptitude interview. The Conservatory, owned by the City of Perugia, is derived from the renovation of a monumental building from the 1500s. In its impressive Auditorium, a large from concert Organ, equipped with five keyboards to mechanical transmission, two pedalboards, fifty-eight registers and more than six thousand pipes, was specially built to the Conservatory's original design. Given the importance of the instrument, the Auditorium of the Conservatory of Perugia was chosen by MIUR as the official venue for holding the 2014 edition of the National Arts Prize for the "Organ" Section. Since November 2013 it has been directed by M° Piero Caraba. Since April 2015, the president of the Conservatory has been Prof. Andrea Sassi. (www.conservatorioperugia.it.)
