Un'altra puntata di Sunday Musicians Café, con il Maestro Pietro Uliana, anche conosciuto in arte come Chitarra Disagio. Un musicista genovese dedito allo studio della chitarra in tutte le sue forme e alla didattica musicale trasversale. Un grande esempio e ispirazione per i i giovani musicisti, ma in generale per le nuove generazioni.

Un maestro di libertà mentale e di connessione con la natura.

Sunday Musicians Café ☕️ 🎙️

AI in classical music? Yes.

With Daniel we talked about many things including the lost tradition of nuances, violin playing, AI tools and positive approach to it, Oleg Pokhanovski, and how and why to practice with no rosin.

I cannot describe how happy I am about today's chat! ☀️

A subject that very few musicians, especially in the classical world, talk about. There are many things that we can do individually, but that can also help in building a career.

With Lea, (@lea.violin ) we tried to dismantle some sustainability biases and talked about what to do in the music industry. 🌱

Matthias is an outstanding and extraordinary musician, I would say almost superlative! Just like the title of every album he produces! 😍 The ability he has to adopt the festive attitude and enjoyment typical of folk music to the classical repertoire is in my opinion one of the keys to being a complete musician. In fact, when one listens to Matthias and looks at him, one can immediately notice the big smile or at least his extraordinary ability to communicate what the music has to say.

Thank you Matthias for being such an inspiration to us all! ✨

How do musicians make a living?

We are entrepreneurs.

That's the answer.

But what does that mean exactly?

Sunday Musicians Café is a podcast founded and hosted by Pietro Genova Gaia. An informal chat between musicians or professionals involved in the music industry.

Sipping coffee or something just as if we were in a cafeteria.

The goal is to encourage musicians to talk, connect with each other and to tell and share their experiences with the audience. The project originates from the idea of explaining the structure and shape of musicians' careers.

Episode 2 - Today a wonderful chat with @soukup.ondrej, a dear friend and a very talented conductor. We talked about leadership and attitudes on stage as well as how the connection that is created between musicians has an impact on the audience. ✨

A clip from the First Episode. ☕️
