The Accademia di Musica Antica di Milano (AMAMI) grew out of the great public and critical success of the Festival Gesualdo Milano 2013, held for the 400th anniversary of the death of the madrigal composer Carlo Gesualdo. It is more than a concert association: as its name says, it is an Academy, built on three guiding ideas.
The first is to rediscover and promote a musical heritage of immense beauty, that of the 15th to 17th centuries, through performances by leading Italian and international ensembles.
The second is to accompany the concert seasons with a variety of cultural activities: conferences, book and musicology presentations, the conversations of I Salotti di AMAMI, film screenings, scholarships and more.
Finally, AMAMI sets itself the difficult task of showing the cultural link between contemporary music and so-called early music, showing that the past has not died out but lives on today in new forms.
With its distinctive mission and complementary activities, the Accademia di Musica Antica di Milano has become a respected point of reference for anyone who works, or hopes to work, in the wide world of early music.
