From 2004 to 2014, Claudio Abbado’s Orchestra Mozart in Bologna gave concerts, held academies, recorded music. Then, financial problems ended the activities. Now, the OM has started a crowd funding campaign in order to prepare a comeback. On OM’s website we read: « OM is an Italian excellence appreciated and loved by the whole world; OM is experience, innovation, education, devotion, it’s endless love for music, a restless need of expression, a shared desire to play again. A desire that can be fulfilled only thanks to the contribution of all. For a year we will storytell this Orchestra through its musicians, through concerts and all the activities we are setting up. For a year you will have the chance to contribute and become part of it! Come and enjoy our concerts, listen to unreleased music, take part in one of our workshops. Discover the OM and support its quest for a new voice. » Until today, 65 donors contributed with some 5.000 Euros. The website is here.
