Ritorna My Festival, uno dei più ambiziosi progetti speciali varati dalla Fondazione Musica per Roma all’Auditorium Parco della Musica. Il nuovo format è stato inaugurato lo scorso anno da Patti Smith che ha curato in prima persona la “regia” di diversi giorni di programmazione. Nel 2014 il protagonista della rassegna sarà Elvis Costello che proporrà 8 diverse serate di musica in cui chiamerà molti artisti a partecipare. Tra questi la Metropole Orchestra diretta da Vince Mendoza e Allen Toussaint. Verranno proposte inoltre proiezioni cinematografiche e le interviste di Costello ai grandi della musica.

or as our friends at google translate would put it:

Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, Ben Harper e Tori Amos tra i protagonisti della stagione 2013-14 dell'Auditorium di Roma

Presentata la stagione 2013-2014 dell'Auditorium Parco della Musica di Roma, tra i principali appuntamenti in programma i concerti di Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, Tori Amos, Ben Harper, Pat Metheny, Yoko Ono, Chick Corea, Franco D'Andrea, Max Gazzè. Preceduta dall’ironico video della Web TV dell’Auditorium, (vedi il link sottostante) si è svolta il 3 ottobre la conferenza stampa di presentazione della stagione della Fondazione Musica per Roma all’Auditorium Parco della Musica.

Dall’1 settembre al 30 giugno 2014, più di 350 appuntamenti per tutti i palati: musica, spettacolo, cultura, arte. Una sinfonia di suoni e immagini, con il mondo sottobraccio.
In cartellone concerti imperdibili come quelli di Elvis Costello (nella foto), Nick Cave, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Tori Amos, Ben Harper, Yoko Ono, ma anche rassegne e festival originali, dalla musica contemporanea al jazz, dalla nuova danza, al teatro, dalla letteratura, alle grandi mostre, alle scienze. Tra le molte novità, da segnalare l’incontro con Noam Chomsky, i progetti di Emma Dante, di Pippo Delbono, di Andrea Camilleri, la mostra di Herb Ritts. Per ottobre, ai box di partenza il Festival Flamenco (Carmen Linares, Eva Yerbabuena), il Roma Jazz Festival (si inizia con Joshua Redman insieme a Paolo Rossi), l’omaggio al Gruppo 63 (con Sergio Rubini, Iaia Forte, Nanni Balestrini, Achille Bonito Oliva).

Il "My Festival", dopo la prima, scoppiettante edizione orchestrata lo scorso anno da Patti Smith, è affidato a Elvis Costello; l’artista inglese sta lavorando a diverse serate spettacolari, musicali e cinematografiche.

Mrs. Sulky took our girls to Rome for a holiday and promised she'd take them back once she'd retired - so that's us sorted.

I wish it would be moved back to May/June. It will still be freezing in Italy in March.

johnfoyle · Post by **johnfoyle** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 3:51 pm

Still no precise details on this. One slight indicator of things may be the news that one of the supposed participants, Allen Toussaint, is doing a show in Basel on April 11, so he will be in the general vicinity of Rome.

If a Rude 5 reunion is being planned , Marc Ribot will also be nearby -

Still no details on this. Whatever does happen its look like I won't be able to make it - long story short, other commitments mean I will not be able to leave Dublin late March/early April.
