Villa Lontana presents Organum Multiplum, a festival of contemporary music for organ conceived as a sonic and spiritual journey across the city of Rome. Featuring Ellen Arkbro, Sarah Davachi, Maxime Denuc, Jonathan Fitoussi, Hampus Lindwall, Hanne Lippard, and Kali Malone, the program brings together composers and artists whose work intertwines the spiritual dimension of listening with the timbral and spatial experimentation of sound. The festival proposes a musical itinerary through four historic churches in Rome, offering moments of collective listening and contemplation. The concerts will take place at the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, la Basilica di Santo Stefano Rotondo al Celio, la Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi e la Chiesa di Nostra Signora del Santissimo Sacramento e dei Santi Martiri Canadesi.
Considered the “oldest of synthesizers,” the pipe organ becomes a bridge between the spiritual and the experimental. The title pays homage to Alfredo Leonardi’s 1967 film Organum Multiplum and reflects the festival’s intent to explore the dialogue between historical instruments and contemporary sound practices. On the occasion of the Jubilee Year 2025, Organum Multiplum unfolds as a sonic pilgrimage across multiple sites in the historic center of Rome. Each concert is conceived as a unique experience, in dialogue with the acoustics and architecture of the hosting churches.
The festival is curated by Vittoria Bonifati and promoted by Villa Lontana in partnership with Soprintendenza Speciale Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio di Roma and under the Patronage of Roma Capitale. The initiative is made possible with the support of Fondazione Roma and additional support from Fondazione Santarelli. Supported by French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici, American Academy in Rome, Pieux Établissements de la France à Rome et à Lorette. With the collaboration of Accademia Tedesca di Roma Villa Massimo and Circolo Scandinavo. Technical sponsor: Fabbrica d’Organi Tamburini. Media partners: ZERO, NERO, Radio Raheem.
All concerts are free to attend upon reservation, until capacity is reached.
