The 3rd edition of the musical and cultural series "I Concerti del Politecnico" is about to begin , with the first concert scheduled for Thursday, March 5, 2020. Six events, between March and May, will feature concerts and cultural meetings involving musicians and music experts (both Italian and international) on the university campus.
The scheduled events will be free and open to anyone who wishes to participate. "Culture needs to be supported because culture is never an expense but always an investment," stated Francesco Cupertino, Rector of the Polytechnic University of Bari, during the press conference presenting the event. He emphasized that the Polytechnic's initiative is also a way to reclaim other cultural fields, different from but closely related to the university's. He also thanked Randstad , Openwork , and Master Explorer for their participation and support .
The theme of the third edition will be "Eternity is no longer so durable," a phrase by the poet Mario Luzi, an invitation to reflect on our fluid temporal condition.
Music, literature, and art have always challenged time, allowing humanity to extend its gaze toward the infinite and indefinite in an attempt to grasp the essence of things. During the presentation ceremony, Martin Arborea of Openworkreiterated how time is also a challenge for businesses that wish to build sustainably, further emphasizing the importance of collaboration between businesses and universities and how this can help mitigate the risk that obsolescencecould impact investments in innovation.
The event program is shown below.
