Spartiti per Scutari Orkestra
cuckoo's house
the association
“La Casa del
Cuculo” literally means “The House of the
Cuckoo” in Italian. It is a house located in the beautiful
countryside of Fratta Terme (Forlì-Cesena, Italy), that has always hosted
many people of several origins and backgrounds who have developed their
cultural and artistic projects in its inspiring rooms.
The ferments
that have been matching and meeting inside the house have naturally
evolved into an association that gathers all the people who live and/or
cooperate within the house. They have given life to creative
collaborations of several kinds.
They
are both people who originally come from that area and love their own
territory, and people who have moved there from somewhere else. They
all wish to actively promote the artistic and cultural development of
that territory, and create projects and networks that will link it to
many more spaces and times.

VIAGGIO IN SCUTARI (TRIP TO SHKODER)
Balkan music workshop that has flewn into the Spartiti per Scutari
Orkestra. The repertoire is mainly Albanian, and it is the result of a
research carried on 40 years ago by the ethno-musicologists Tonin Zadeja and Tonin
