This conductor-less chamber ensemble of 12 Italian
musicians, who were mainly graduates of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, was
formed in 1952 in Rome, Italy
to explore music of Italian composers that was never played. They debuted at the Accademia in
March 1952 and in April they were heard rehearsing by Arturo Toscanini who
said "bravi, bravissimi".no!
la musica non muore", literally translated as "good, best: no!
music does not die". They became recognized very quickly
and soon became known as international performers. Their name was changed to I Musici
di Roma at the suggestion of their manager as he said it would immediately
identify their roots. They use
both of their names depending in which country in the world they are
performing but essentially they are I Musici in the countries outside
Europe and have the "di Roma" added for European audiences.
