Uto Ughi at the Trento Festival of Economics captivated with the vibrant sound of his Guarneri violin, but also with the stories of music he told the students of the Conservatory.
An encounter, that with young musicians, very dear to the Maestro, one of the greatest of the Italian violin school, who is committed to spreading knowledge and listening to classical music in all schools. In 2024, in fact, the Uto Ughi Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Education and Merit that provides for the promotion of activities and educational projects aimed at spreading knowledge of the expressive potential of musical instruments and the development of initiatives centred on music as an experience of research, creativity, aggregation and inclusion.
The Gift of Music
.'Music,' says Uto Ughi, 'is a precious gift that everyone can and should access. That is why I set up my Foundation. I want young people to get to know the great musical cultural heritage that our country is rich in, and to be able to love music. It is essential that they have the opportunity to study an instrument and appreciate what is most beautiful in life: culture'.
A task that does not appear easy, given that other genres of music, from electronic to urban to trap, are depopulating among young people.
'I think,' Ughi continues, 'that it is right for young people to know the two dimensions, that of light music and that of classical music, so that they can make choices. There must be a level playing field in the information and dissemination of musical culture, which schools are not concerned about at the moment'.
