But how profitable is a high-density orchard "With productions  of around 15 t/ha and a sales price of hand-picked high-quality produce of around €4-5/kg The gross saleable production is 60 to 70,000 Euro/ha and the net income is between 25 and 35 thousand Euro/ha we would easily reach €50 thousand net per hectare."   For further informationAzienda Agricola Piombini IvoVia Bassa Paolucci, 4441043 - Casinalbo di Formigine (MO)Tel. +39 059 8678208[email protected]www.del-rio.it FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com Relaxing with a coffee in one of its squares is tranquillity itself Behind the town's 13th-century castle and medieval ramparts From a dormitory and rehearsal space in the town a group of young musicians are reshaping and remaking the modern classical music concert with a remarkable spirit that crosses world-class performance standards with a rebellious More socialist collective than musical organisation Spira Mirabilis – literally a "miraculous spiral" – is the name these musicians have given themselves alluding to the logarithmic spiral figure found in nature in a variety of states such as shells They never work with conductors; there are no soloists The only hierarchy appears to be one of ideas a need for freedom from the usual constraints of the classical music industry Planning a concert with them is thus not so much work as an adventure And it looks to be the same when they make music the no-conductor label always attracts interest without one person in charge to keep time and articulate phrasing Spira won't be appearing anywhere soon playing Stravinsky's Rite of Spring or any of those other rhythmically complex scores that the 20th century excelled in and they will need to have spent a lot more time than most orchestras rehearsing and agreeing on interpretation this group of young (average age 26) musicians from all over the world – Italy Australia and Israel – give a pretty unified answer From their privileged positions as members of groups such as the Berlin Philharmonic and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe they could easily have opted not to embark on their own risky experiments But instead they have chosen to spend time away from their main jobs rehearsing intensely for days on end in Formigine because they feel that coming together in this way allows them to give a more powerful collective performance than when they are more simply following a conductor's lead This approach has not been without its difficulties For their first year they performed without pay existing only on the sponsorship necessary to cover travel the risk looks to have paid off; their interpretations of Beethoven and Schubert symphonies are increasingly being compared to those of the very best conductors are an example of a new breed of classical musician who wants to take classical music out of its closed circle of admirers to a broader audience almost burning belief in the need for classical music to be a mirror of You can glimpse this in the UK in the approach of a variety of new groups: the Britten Sinfonia the club nights mounted by the likes of Gabriel Prokofiev or the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's Night Shift series (advertising itself as "classical music minus the rules") There is also an idealistic link with the Venezuelan Sistema and its UK offshoots and imitators Big Noise and the London Music Masters' Bridge Project Indeed it is no accident that Spira's UK debut next month follows the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra of Venezuela's hugely successful debut two weeks ago ties and clever manners to enjoy what we do and you don't need to worry about knowing stuff about great composers; classical music is for everyone Just bring your interest." This attitude is also driving the UK's larger orchestras: witness experiments such as the Philharmonia's Re-rite project last year and the London Philharmonic's partnerships with both In Harmony and the Bridge Project Could it be that there is a movement here and This is probably the first major change in concert behaviour since the French Revolution classical music concerts were often as much party as concert But the opening decades of the 19th century popularised "serious" listening which can make attending a classical music concert today resemble a form of high-class incarceration: keep still don't expect the musicians on stage to talk to you For many people who are not already members of the "club" that's enough to ensure they never will be They break many of these conventions every time they come on stage they usually play only one piece of music in a concert using it as a starting point for an evening of exploration as much as a concert about what they are playing and why they play it as they do we didn't have the goal to break away from the traditional formal concert Actually we didn't have even the goal to play concerts The choice of playing just one piece comes from the fact that during a 'Spira week' we study one work … We are very aware that building a strong and coherent idea of a piece for a group without a conductor is a long process We are trying to find a common way to read the music and to react to each other so that many minds can work like a single one not asking 'When is your concert?' but 'When is Beethoven Eight?' Suddenly our music is again part of the vocabulary of the people around us." Spira also make sure that many of their concerts take place in the midst of the community "From the start we decided to work outside of the mainstream musical circuit," Lorenza says isolated venues in which we could experiment and in which we could present our work to an audience likely not to have heard the piece before therefore lacking any kind of preconception." The results are explosive: the highest quality of performance tied to an intensity of communication and risk in concerts that seems designed equally for first-timers and experts When I first heard this group – playing to an audience of non-specialists in a free series in the middle of Frankfurt – the audience reaction was awe-inspiring their concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall next week will not actually be their UK debut in an unannounced secret London market location creating a spontaneous audience out of whoever happens to be out and about doing their shopping at that moment The orchestra likes to insist on these "guerrilla concerts" wherever it goes If you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time then you're in for some real fireworks this November Marshall Marcus is head of music at Southbank Centre Spira Mirabilis performs at the Queen Elizabeth Hall 23 May 2022 – Pagani Automobili is going to take part in the fourth Motor Valley Fest in Emilia-Romagna The area that thirty years ago welcomed Horacio Pagani and his visionary idea of building dream cars now sees the brand stand proudly alongside the legendary names in the automotive industry an example of Italian excellence in the world the festival is going to take place in the city of Modena Named as a Unesco World Heritage Site for its art and architecture Modena provides the perfect backdrop for the presentation of the Pagani hypercars the principle inspired by Leonardo da Vinci on which the company bases its philosophy and its creations For Pagani Automobili the 2022 Motor Valley Fest is all about the Huayra of which it will be showing a very special version in Piazza Mazzini a one-off coupé created as a collaboration between the client and Pagani Special Projects the division that builds the Atelier’s highly personalised limited-edition vehicles With its ad hoc configuration including a colour palette and livery designed specifically for the lines of the car the Huayra NC is a road vehicle that loves the racetrack incorporating performance-enhancing innovations in the structure the car delivers up to 830 HP and 1080 Nm of torque Enhanced performance is accompanied by a 7-gear sequential transmission Pirelli Trofeo R tyres and an aerodynamic design to ensure balance in all driving conditions All this in a vehicle weighing just 1,240 kg visitors to the exhibition in the central square in Modena will also see the Pagani Imola of which just five examples have been built it is a car born with a racing personality yet it can be driven on every road all over the world the key attraction on the Military Academy’s stand will be the Huayra R the latest vehicle from the Pagani Atelier which is making its first appearance in Italy an implementation of cutting-edge technology contained in just 1,050 kg Motor Valley Fest also involves Modena’s neighbouring towns where Piazza Castello will provide the stage for the Huayra BC a car designed as a road vehicle but with the power to generate powerful emotions on the racetrack refinement and attention to details that characterise the hypercars can also be seen in the boutique collections: the pop-up shop in Piazza Mazzini offers a range of clothing accessories and collectable items with the Pagani Automobili signature brand enthusiasts will have the opportunity to visit the Horacio Pagani Museum and the Atelier in San Cesario Sul Panaro calling  +39 059220022 to book an appointment press.office@pagani.com It is rehearsal time for the players of Spira mirabilis Not because of Beethoven’s Fifth — although the symphony will ring out with juicy abandon before the day is out — but with the sound of raised voices who has just joined an extended debate about the piccolo player As the piccolo picks her way through different sections of the orchestra rather like a stray dog in search of a friendly kennel one Spira player is racing around the stalls and balconies of the Philharmonie in Essen to try to work out whether the shrill instrument’s location is actually making any difference to the overall sound 400 euro fine to Castelfranco for insults by fans to the referee and throwing a bottle of water followed by spitting at the referee.
