Monday, January 12th, 2026, at 10 am – Space of Le Dimore del Quartetto, Milan

On Monday, January 12th, Le Dimore del Quartetto’s Milan space will host the ensembles involved in Fortissimo — Doré Quartet, Quartetto Pegreffi and Quartetto Rilke — for a full day of shared work with Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori and Fondazione EOS – Edison Orizzonte Sociale. The meeting is dedicated to shaping the content of the concert-conversations with the string quartets, focusing on language, modes of dialogue, and musical choices.
The classes arrive at this stage after initial narrative stretching workshops, during which students wrote and shared their own biographies with their classmates. The emotions emerging from the encounter with the quartets will then become the basis for short stories, poems, and texts developed in the subsequent expressive writing workshops.
Event reserved for partners only.
FORTISSIMO | EMOZIONI TRA MUSICA E PAROLE
Fortissimo – Emozioni tra Musica e Parole is a project created by Le Dimore del Quartetto in collaboration with Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori, which establishes an educational path that combines music and storytelling, with the aim of countering educational and relational poverty among adolescents, while promoting personal growth, inclusion, and well-being.
The project was born out of the desire to strengthen the school as a place of dialogue and discovery, building on a collaboration already successfully tested in the project ABITO.
Fortissimo involves 300 students from three technical and vocational schools in Milan and the Metropolitan City, with the goal of increasing young people’s awareness of their own expressive, relational, and emotional abilities, while at the same time stimulating sensitivity towards the role of art and culture as tools for inner and collective exploration.
The technical and vocational schools participating in the project are IIS Falcone-Righi (Corsico), ITSOS Marie Curie (Cernusco sul Naviglio), and IIS Giovanni Giorgi (Milano).
