A Community for Creativity
New Music New City builds on Gesualdo's long history of being a fertile setting in which to pursue artistic projects. We will also welcome artists working in other artistic disciplines who wish to pursue individual projects alongside the music and theater aspects of the program, contributing additional creative energy to the community.
Additionally, patrons of the arts are invited to engage in a unique tourism experience of the region and to participate with the New Music New City artistic community centered in Gesualdo through shared meals and excursions, and attending program activities such as creative salons, private readings of new work, and public performances.
New Music New City will provide opportunity for artists to work and learn intensely in an inspiring retreat setting, encouraged by feedback from the creative community as a whole. It will also allow program participants to experience the natural beauty and rich cultural history of Southern Italy, and to immerse themselves in the history and language of the region.
