Accordi di Pace brings together exceptional musicians from communities shaped by conflict or difficult histories. The medium is the encounter. The concert is the evidence.
In 2016, five pairs of musicians came together in intimate venues across Rome. Each encounter began with two separate musical languages. Each ended in shared improvisation.
All five encounters →
The original format tested a proposition: that two musicians from different traditions, given time and shared space, could arrive somewhere neither could have reached alone.
The next stage extends that proposition. A four-to-five-day residential period of rehearsal, meals, conversation, silence and musical exploration before the public enters.
A repeatable structure that creates the conditions for something genuinely new to emerge between two artists from different worlds.
Read the method →The camera follows what happens before the concert: arrival, hesitation, rehearsal, silence, disagreement, discovery.
Not a record of a performance, but a witness to a process. Each encounter documented as a standalone film and as part of a growing archive.
Documentary framework →
"What happens when two human beings who come from divided worlds are given the time, space and freedom to meet through music?"
Every institutional structure, every partnership, every funding arrangement exists for one purpose: to give two musicians the time and space to arrive somewhere together. If the structure ever becomes visible to the artists, it has failed in its purpose.
