Francesco Socal | Chi sono

I am a musician from Venice, I have graduated

in clarinet and I am also very passionate about

bass clarinet. In my spare time I also enjoy

singing and even more devoting myself to the

study of improvisation in music.

Inevitably suffering the influence of the

saturation of languages - it being to some extent

the label of our era - I am committed to all the

music that lets me transfer something. I

therefore swing among classical music,

contemporary music and improvisation and I am

inevitably attracted by popular genres, mainly

that of klezmer, jazz and tango.

I love classical music when it's played by people,

for the people.

I am also frightened by the strong cultural crisis

that we sadly have to cope with, which I

personally reckon as being more relevant than

the crisis that has developed at the economic

level.

Finally, I am proud to have devoted nearly one

and a half year of my life to the artistic direction

of the Associazione Culturale Flat (the Flat

cultural association) in Mestre (Venice), that

during this time has been constantly opposing to

the social and cultural low-down that is also

affecting my city.
