The spring prelude of the Trieste Prima 2016 contemporary music festival

On May 20 at the Minerva Bookshop (20 San Nicolò Street, Trieste) a Renzo Cresti's lecture opened the spring prelude of the Trieste Prima 2016 contemporary music festival. The famous Italian musicologist presented his latest book, Sentimenti e ragioni nelle musiche europee dal primo Novecento a oggi. The event was introduced by Corrado Rojac, president of the Chromas Association, which organised the lecture. Corrado Rojac remembered the fact that the first Trieste Prima festival started in 1987: thirty years of passionate activity are a important achievement.

Cresti's book is a monument to the 20th century music; written in a fluently lyrical language, it is one of the best texts to approach the contemporary music world.
