Programme Introduction
I Musici in Italian means “The Musicians”, founded in 1952 by twelve young and promising Italian musicians, mainly roman and mostly graduates of the master classes at the Accademia di Santa Ceacilia. The chamber playing and the unchanging sound of I MUSICI has been patent for half a century of total dedication, of respect for the style and taste of each composer and, at the same time, a free interpretative liberty alien to any academic dogmatism.
At the beginning of their foundation, they deliberately decided to shape the ensemble without conductor while appointing soloist Felix Ayo as the concert master. As they initiated this ensemble with the intention of revitalizing the string repertory, particularly that of the Italian composers of the “settecento”, they try to keep the original taste of the music and retain the position of “the Ambassador of Baroque Music” in the music world.
I MUSICI’s remarkable quality has always been, ever since its beginning, to extract from its ensemble all the required soloists – individually and in diverse instrumental combinations, so its programs offer a rich balance in styles and tonal colors.

CANBERRA, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — Education Minister Julia Gillard on Thursday announced the federal government would provide funding for hundreds more Australian high schools to set up trade training centers around the country.
A total of 302 schools have been awarded grants to establish the centers under two of Labor’s Trade Training Centers in Schools program.
Gillard said many of the schools which had received grants planned to work together to establish joint facilities.
The program would address future labor shortages in traditional and emerging trades, she said.
In the second round of funding, 223 public schools received more than 73 percent of the total 384 million Australian dollars (347 million U.S. dollars) to go towards 62 projects.
“Kids need options, they need a pathway, many of our secondary students want to have a career in traditional trades or emerging trades,” Gillard told reporters.
“We recognize too many of our secondary schools had no trades training facility or a facility that was better suited to the 1950s than to the 21st century.”
