50th International Festival of Contemporary Music. 29 Sept-7 Oct 2006. Nine intense days featuring 48 composers in concerts, installations, audio-visual performances, a cappella song, and underwater performances with nine world premieres and 23 Italian premieres. The festival is inaugurated with the creation of a sound painting in constant evolution by Brian Eno. Listening to music underwater is the surprising challenge of Michel Redolfi, who will execute his Citt Liquida in the basin of the Piscina di S. Alvise, where he will recreate a Venice city mirage, inviting the public to dive in with him.
