For the centenary of the birth of the great 20th century composer Luigi Nono , the “Luigi Canepa” Conservatory of Sassari is organizing three days of music and studies . From Thursday to Saturday , a conference, a masterclass and a concert in the name of the Venetian intellectual are scheduled, included in the contemporary music festival Musicanova and in collaboration with the Laborintus musical association.

The guest of the three days will be the flautist Roberto Fabbriciani , a former collaborator of Luigi Nono and a living memory of the composer's work.

The conference scheduled for 11 in the Guarino room of the Sassari Conservatory (free admission) is entitled “Giacinto Scelsi, Luigi Nono, Franco Oppo and the diffusion of new music in Sardinia” . Conceived by the professor Angelo Pinto and organized together with the vice director of Canepa Gian Carlo Grandi, the study day will investigate the relationships between the three composers and in particular the contribution that the Sardinian Franco Oppo gave to the fortunes of Nono and Scelsi on the island.
