The music programme Long Playing, curated by Nicola Di Croce and Francesco Bergamo (SSH! Sound Studies Hub, Iuav University of Venice), returns with four new appointments dedicated to listening to musical editions in the auditorium space, accompanied by authors.
Long Playing takes its title from the standard format of a vinyl record (LP), a unit of time measurement that has marked the way in which music albums have been enjoyed and listened to since the end of WWII.
Programme:
