Roberto Andreoni: “The Making of Cross-cultural Music and Research: Analysis and Performance of Bardo by Roberto Andreoni”

How can a European-trained composer approach the encounter with a performer who belongs to a different culture and, through the latter, how can he manage to encounter another, even more remote, challenging culture?

Otherwise, is music itself a bridge between, above and beyond cultures? To what extent a new, non-commercial composition could still be a relevant fact in the life of a campus community?
