Join Francesco Fusaro on ‘Promenades’ for ‘Youth of Yesterday and Today’, a psychogeographic exploration of how music captures youth and the passage of time. Featuring works by Benjamin Britten, Raymond Scott, and Giovanni Paisiello, some specifically composed for young audiences, the discussion weaves insights from Federico Campagna, Vito Mancuso, and Fusaro’s own perspectives. It delves into the musical interpretation of youth’s fleeting nature and time’s relentless march across generations.
