On July 23, 2016, during the 41st Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte, the beginning of the activities of the Friends’s Circle and later sponsoring association AMICI DEL CANTIERE was officially announced on the occasion of a commemoration event for the 90th birthday of Hans Werner Henze at the Teatro Poliziano.
Many of those who had known Henze personally and had worked with him met that day. People who understood, lived and carried on the spirit and aspiration of the “International Art Workshop”. Artists whose professional careers had begun in Montepulciano and who returned one day to build a bridge between the great personalities of the previous years and the younger generations.
Since the association was founded in 2018, the AMICI DEL CANTIERE have already given several projects substantial support, including the “Ensemble degli Intrigati” specialising in contemporary music, a composition course for young composers and a contribution towards the travel and accommodation costs of the RNCM Symphony Orchestra.
