Prima/Vera Contemporanea

Prima/Vera Contemporanea 2025

From March 7 to May 29, 2025, the Sala Perriera of the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa in Palermo hosted eleven performances of the festival curated by Curva Minore. Throughout the season, all performances sought unprecedented relationships between music and other artistic expressions, in a fascinating dialogue between authentic legends like Thollem McDonas, John Greaves, and Avreeayl Ra and new talents such as the very young Pietro Elia Barcellona, Irene Sorozabàl, and Maria Merlino.

The festival confirmed itself as a permanent laboratory for listening and in-depth study, capable of bringing together different generations and poetics, with particular attention to the repertoire of the 20th and 21st centuries. Tickets were priced at 10 euros for full price, 7 euros for students under 30, with a season pass option for the entire program.
