Furthermore, ACHЯOME ensemble has been regurlarly involved for several years in the events of the “Donizetti Opera” Festival, organized by the Donizetti Foundation of Bergamo, such as Donizetti Night and Donizetti Christmas Day – Festival Donizetti Opera. ACHЯOME ensemble offer itself as performer of contemporary works as well as of the historical repertoire. Working in synergy with composers, it aims to attract a public that is increasingly interested in the evolution of music through the centuries.
Thus, it devised interdisciplinary didactical-informative projects aimed at the students of the “Paolina Secco Suardo” Music High School, of the Conservatory of Bergamo, and of the “G. Verdi” Conservatory of Como.
Furthermore, precisely for these interdisciplinary projects, for some years the ensemble has had a collaboration with the Brera Academy (Milan) for the History of Music and Musical Theater course, held by Prof. Roberto Favaro, this year as part of Suono e Arte 2025, which is receiving great participation and interest from students. The meeting, which takes place in the Sala Napoleonica of the Brera Academy, takes place as an open dress rehearsal of the first concert of the ACHЯOME ensemble season.
Their particular attention to new generations of composers increased, during the years, with the ACHЯOME ensemble International Call for Scores,which is now in its eighth edition, especially aimed at composition students from all over the world, who have always shown active participation. With 2025 and the project "...e adesso musica!" - Stagione di musica contemporanea a Bergamo, ACHЯOME ensemble proudly reaches its ninth year of activity thanks both to the commitment of all its members and to the great trust and support given to it by the always large and warm audience at its concerts and by those who support it in a more concrete way, rewarding, thus, the commitment and energy that the entire ensemble has shown in these first eight years of presence in the Bergamo area and beyond.
