The Taukay Ensemble activities
began with the intention to keep alive a moment of thought for
those kinds of music that, although not being orientated first
hand towards the exploitation of those mechanisms belonging to
the logic of mass marketing, for their own existence need support
now more than ever from all those parts in question. This is also
the reason that Taukay Ensemble carries on in all fields and above
all regards all territories. This comes about by inciting composers
towards creating works that are always innovating as well as creating
moments of contact with the public through concert activities and
the following recording of CD's. All the activities therefore are
concentrated on the performance of compositions that are explicitly
composed by many valid authors who work on our territory (some
of undiscussed international part-owner-ship) as well as other
prestigious composers who, with their disinterested adhesion towards
the intiaitives, express a substantial support. Artistic responsibility
of the activities of the Taukay Ensemble is carried out by Paolo
Longo and Stefano Procaccioli.
Paolo Longo (Trieste,
1967), after graduating brilliantly in Piano at the conservatory
of music of Trieste, from
1988 he assumed the position of maestro collaboratore e direttore
assistente (Teatro Verdi of Triest, Opéra National de
Lyon). He has worked with the major orchestra conductors and
singers. He carries out concert
activities in Europe as orchestra conductor and as accompanying pianist.
