THE ORCHESTRONA OF THE SCHOOL OF POPULAR MUSIC OF FORLIMPOPOLI
The Orchestrona of the School of Popular Music of Forlimpopoli is, at the same time, an ensemble music course and the group that has been involved in popular music for over 35 years. Davide Castiglia, has created an absolutely atypical formation, a mixture of a band and an orchestra, a faithful synthesis of the musical project that the Association is pursuing. The formation sees students and already experienced musicians side by side, through a journey of discovery of what are the "classics" and "standards" of the School of Popular Music, ranging among the folk melodies of Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, without neglecting some pieces of the ancient "liscio," telling the heterogeneous richness and enthralling beauty of traditional music. For the 2023 edition of the festival, L'Orchestrona proposes, in addition to the established repertoire, a special revisiting "in a folk key" of some iconic songs from the history of Italian and international rock.
