Before music takes the floor, it is the gaze that sets out on its way. On the Saturday preceding the concert, art meets music on a guided route through the collections of the Turin civic museums.
OFT offers participants in the guided visit the opportunity to attend the reference concert by purchasing the full-price ticket with numbered seat for 8 euros, instead of 25 euros, subject to availability of seats.
From the ritual instruments of Tibetan Buddhism to the figurines of musicians in the Chinese collection, from the refined court life evoked in Islamic art to the bustling life depicted in Japanese prints dedicated to the famous road that connected today's Tokyo with Kyoto, the route through the permanent collections is a 'run' through space and time marked by works that refer to sound and music, among entertainment, celebration, power, might, ritual, myth.
