From Béla Bartók’s Hungary to a Europe of Cultures is the theme of the second edition of the "Festival Redentore ettnic@ 2004 Peoples Voices, Sounds, and Visions".  Just as with previous edition this year’s Ettnic@ Festival aims to make contact between culturally diverse traditions, knowing that only through dialogue and mutual understanding can different people live together harmoniously. Hungary’s recent entry into the European Union offers a perfect occasion to dedicate the Festival’s 2004 edition to one of the fathers of contemporary music, a tribute to Béla Bartók. The event takes place from 10 to 17 July, taking in a rich musical showcase and exhibition, all dedicated to the Hungarian master and all entry free. Corte dei Cordami square on the Giudecca, Redentore Church, Santi Cosma e Damiano ex convent all provide a varied spaces as well as the Teatro Fondamenta Nuove where the concert series for 2004 opens. The ties between the two cultures will further be displayed in an unusual exhibition in the CTR’s space in Santi Cosma e Damiano ex convent, Giudecca: here Zoltán Móser’s images and István Gaál’s documentary film will be confronted with memories, a dedication to the Hungarian musician by the noted venetian composer Luigi Nono.
