(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 19 LUG - Fifty musicians under 30 from all over Italy will be the protagonists of the international tour of the youth orchestra Filarmonici Friulani. A month-long journey that will take the ensemble to perform from July 27 for nine evenings at the Young opera festival in Weikersheim Castle in Germany in Donizetti's "Elisir d'amore" under the baton of maestro Fausto Nardi. This will be followed by four Italian Suite symphony concerts, under the baton of maestro Ferdinando Sulla, at the Tauber Philharmonie in Weikersheim (Aug. 6), in Gemonaplatz in Velden am Wörther See in Austria (Aug. 8), in the parish of San Giovanni Bosco in Lignano Sabbiadoro (Aug. 9) and in the church of San Francesco in Udine (Aug. 10).
    This is the first time, a statement explains, that the Friulian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra has opened its doors to musicians from all over Italy. FVG President Massimiliano Fedriga underlined that the initiative "combines culture and promotion of the territory both nationally and abroad. Our land is rich in excellence, including in the artistic field, and the OFF tour, on the one hand, allows artists from all over Italy to discover them and, on the other, fosters those interactions, particularly among young talents, that are key to the growth and development of the cultural and creative industry." The FVG Region with PromoturismoFvg supports the tour. The OFF was founded in 2015 and, in just a few years, has involved more than 250 instrumentalists between the ages of 18 and 35, offering opportunities for work and cultural growth in the region in more than 200 events.
