Dear friends, are
Eng. Francis M. Iaconis, Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, University of L'Aquila.
am Chairman of the Instrumental University, which is a free association "non profit" part of the same University and was born at the Faculty of Engineering Year Academic year 1996-97 with the aim of spreading knowledge among the population university of music in an active and participatory as possible.
It consists mainly of students and alumni of the University of L'Aquila, by students from the Conservatory, from music lovers, who delight in playing an instrument, young talent and established artists.
Since its founding, the Instrumental Group of the University has organized an annual regular season of concerts: "The Musical Wednesday of the Faculty of Engineering," held up the Academic Year 2007-08, at the Hall of the Faculty Council of Faculty of Engineering.
Since last academic year had begun the thirteenth season of concerts: "The Thursday Musical University, obliged, until the date of the tragic earthquake in the historic center of L'Aquila, in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Humanities Palace in Camponeschi, prestigious building dating from the fifteenth century.
In the thirteen years of his life the Instrumental Group of the University organized 67 concerts and 56 chamber music concerts, held from his orchestra, which was attended by the young members and established artists, offering especially the many young talents' opportunity to test themselves on a prestigious stage.
As you can imagine, the earthquake of April 6, together with the entire city of L'Aquila, also hit very hard the Instrumental Group of the University, who has lost everything (the salt of the rehearsals and concerts, capital goods necessary for its operation, top instrumentation, all logistical support and the headquarters of the Association).
However, despite the tragedy, the Instrumental Group of the University is still standing.
In order to honor commitments on cultural agreements prior to the earthquake, at the cost of untold sacrifices, wandering among the various tents in order to run the orchestra rehearsals, with tenacity and dedication, he managed to keep at May 23, 2009 the Circle of Deputies Chamber of Deputies in Rome on already scheduled concert (on that occasion also promoting a fundraiser for the reconstruction of L'Aquila, in collaboration with the AIFO) and, later, on June 19, the wave of success and at the invitation of some generous musicians, another concert at the Teatro di Marcello in Rome.
Instrumental Group of the University is still standing, but has nothing. The
remained only a boundless capacity for culture and continue to keep playing.
Instrumental Group of the University is still standing, but until when?
Given the nature of free association in the voluntary Instrumental Group of the University did not enjoy public funding, nor had access to the contributions of local authorities for their cultural events.
Everything was given to the sensitivity and generosity of the faithful viewers, music lovers, some sponsors and those who invited the group to keep the University Instrumental Concert.
Now everything is no more.
Instrumental Group of the University, although he showed on the field, with its 123 concerts, he deserves to continue living, so must die?
His huge desire to continue playing must be on the lost?
Who will believe that the commitment of these cultural last 13 years was somehow worthy of appreciation and that the artistic merits accumulated not be lost, leaving the die Instrumental Group of the University of L'Aquila, listen to this urgent appeal.
Instrumental Group of the University does not require any direct economic support, but only the ability to continue to play, still running the footage, which has declared its undeniable success, with its musicians and their great desire to return to making music , central Italy and the Abruzzo, L'Aquila in the territory, but also any other place where it can keep its solidarity concerts. Who will believe are
