FOCUS ON NATURE
CULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN HARMONY
Beyond its rich history and unrivaled beauty, the City of Venice is also defined by its fragile equilibrium with nature. This duality lends itself to highlight the ravages inflicted by the modern world to both culture and environment. As such, it is the aim of the Festival to become a symbol of the reconciliation of culture and nature. In an uplifting and inspiring manner, the Festival aims to make use of the musical language through some of its programming choices in order to raise awareness of the environmental issues unique to the city of Venice.
A PART OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE TICKET SALES WILL BE DESTINED TO THE RESTORATION OF THE SMALL ISLANDS OF THE VENETIAN LAGOON, WHOSE VERY EXISTENCE IS CONSTANTLY THREATENED BY THE RISING TIDES AND EROSION.
