“Contemporary music” is not a musical genre (so to speak, as in the case of consumer music it is rock, pop, rap …). Using a tautology is simply the music composed in our day and it is precisely in order not to fall into the trap of the “specialist musical genre” that for the Ex Novo Ensemble it has always been very important to propose programs that present music from different eras. This is the case of Four centuries of music in Venice, where the Venetian musical civilization is told in a path by Gabrieli in our days with an identity identification by the ensemble that led him to use this program many times in the most disparate while retaining its original conceptual setting.
