Francesco Socal

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.
