Italy’s oldest music conservatory

Playing on at Italy’s oldest music conservatory

MILAN (AP) ‚Äî Before the pandemic, students at Italy’s oldest and largest music conservatory were always told to move “closer, closer, closer” when they played together.

“Because you need to hear each other,’’ said Cristina Frosini, director of the Giuseppe Verdi Music Conservatory in Milan. “Even at a meter’s distance, it is harder to play together.”

In its 213 years, the conservatory has turned out talents including composer Giacomo Puccini, and conductors Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Muti, Riccardo Chailly and Cecilia Bartoli.

The pandemic, which struck Lombardy first in Italy, and Italy first in the West, cast the 1,700 students asunder. For the first months of total lockdown, they could only follow classes online.

When they returned to in-person instrumental instruction a year ago, students had to adjust to both distancing and playing behind plexiglass, whatever the instrument — flute, violin, piano, drums. Frosini said the safety measures worked: There have been only five cases of COVID-19 among students playing together.

“The students were happy because it was the only way to make music and be together. Psychologically, it was very important,’’ Frosini said. But musically, it has been challenging.

The adjustment was more difficult for the orchestras or chamber music groups, when the plexiglass dividers and the distancing rules meant it was difficult to hear the other musicians.

“When playing together, you need to be together, breathe together,” Frosini said.

And it wasn’t just the physical distancing that was hard. It was also the absence of audiences.

“We made a recording during the period we were closed to the public, and it was very cold,’’ she said, despite the high level of execution.

“I am a pianist and when you hear the audience in the silence, that they are listening to you, it gives you a charge. It is also important to have the applause of an audience,’’ Frosini said.

The conservatory has staged two concerts this spring: one by the Verdi Jazz Orchestra in May and a symphony of Beethoven in June. Both sold out, and they added a second show for the Beethoven performance.

“It was an important message. The public wants to return to listening to live music, and the musicians finally had an audience,’’ Frosini said.

The conservatory, named after Italy’s favorite opera composer, features a full-time symphony orchestra, as well as a jazz orchestra; students also study voice and popular-rock. Graduates end up in some of Europe’s top orchestras, with 90% of alumni working full-time in music, be it playing, teaching, in libraries or management.

After the girls explained their idea, the social worker, along with another school counselor, Kaitlyn Talley, became sponsors to their expanding project. The counselors had previously discussed plans for a closet to help students in need of food, clothes, hygiene products and other necessities.

The first locker was established in February; second and third lockers were added a few weeks later in March.

“We saw such popular demand, so we wanted to make it accessible to all students,” said Kommineni, about expanding the outreach to more than just the eighth grade, as the school is divided into three sections spaced apart.

“So we put one in each area.”

But, alone, the girls couldn’t continue to provide from their home pantries.

In March, a letter went out to the community and posted at Facebook about their efforts, along with a request for donations. During the first night of the Facebook posting, the pair’s Amazon Wish List was bought out.

Now the project provides not only healthy snacks to any student who needs them, but also gently used clothes, new hygiene supplies, school supplies and nonperishable food items.

“This way kids can get whatever they want and focus on their education without worrying about the necessities,” Kommineni said.

About 17% of Liberty Middle School’s population falls under low-income.

“If that’s the only meal they’re eating during the day, now they have food to bring home after school or on weekends,” Kommineni said.

With all of the donations, the girls once again outgrew their space — and the Care Closet was added to the three Care Lockers in April. The first locker was named “Veda’s Locker” by default — because it was her locker — but she did not have a hand in naming the rest of them. In fact, she does not like the publicity, Kommineni said.

“But we wanted to highlight the impact she made,” Zullig said.

While she is not overly excited about the name, Kommineni is thrilled about the impact her and James’ project has had. The girls said that being able to provide help, directly or indirectly, is what their project is all about.

The lockers will continue on a trial period into Liberty’s next school year. They wanted to keep the project student-run, so some seventh and a few sixth grade students are going to continue where Kommineni and James left off.

But just because they’re going to a new school, doesn’t mean the girls are done.

“Our goal, at some point, is to get this in all District 7 schools,” Kommineni said.

They hope to implement care lockers in the high school over the summer, so that the lockers will be ready for fall. The girls have already met once with EHS’ principal, and plan to meet with him again next week.

“It’s a work in progress,” James said, but noted they are confident in their ability to bring this community project with them. “If every school could do this, not just in our district, that would be cool.”

The girls hope to host a drive-by drop-off event at the high school at some point this summer, as well as a donation event at Liberty Middle School before the beginning of the next school year, to collect hygiene products and gender-neutral clothing for each school’s care closets. All donated items will be thoroughly washed and disinfected, and anything that the school receives that they cannot use will be donated to Goodwill or a similar organization.

“We’ve got a really great reaction from all of our community,” they said. “We want to say, ‘Thank you.”

The girls also expressed thanks to their sponsors, teachers and peers who made this possible.

The girls are both involved in school and community.

Kommineni plays soccer and tennis, and also is on a robotics team, all of which she plans to continue in high school. She participated in Liberty’s Scholar Bowl team. She takes singing and piano lessons, and also is involved in Bal Vihar, which she compared to a Sunday school for Hinduism, where participants learn about community service, culture and religion.

James is involved in dance, church choir and youth group, all of which she will continue, she said.

Along with their project, both girls have high hopes for their high school careers. Both girls said they also hope to be involved in the high school yearbook, debate team, Key Club, student council and EHS’ Edwardsville Peer Influence Club.

The girls met in sixth grade but they grew close while quarantining. So close, in fact, that they tend to have the habit of finishing each other’s sentences, they said.
