Under the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic

14TH SUZUKI METHOD WORLD CONVENTION

April 12-17, 2006 Turin, Italy

Promoted by Suzuki Talent Center of Turin

With the patronage of the

Piedmont Region • Turin Province • City of Turin

It is a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity to address a message to all the members of the Suzuki familyat this beautiful occasion of the World Conference in Turin.As everybody knows Italy means “home” to the stringed instrument players, especially here in Turin, the city ofthe great violin maker, Giovanni Battista Guadagnini in the last years of his life.More than a half century ago I heard here for the first time, the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Turin under thebaton of Maestro Mario Rossi in Respighi’s “Pini di Roma” and that gave me an unforgettable impression. An attractive reason, enough for us, to be gathered to celebrate the Suzuki Method and to follow the develop-ment of the Suzuki children.They are truly treasures and valuable enough that we should take care of their development in the warmth of theirhearts, of the skills and delicacy of sense as human beings. Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and other great masters are theirteachers.That is a phenomenon, rather a miracle.It is a providence of God which we didn’t know until now.Dr. Shinichi Suzuki discovered it.We all possess the possibility of being educated to a high degree of sense, just like we all are invited to be a sonor daughter of God.So we are all of one family, of one spirit and therefore part of truth, goodness and beauty and I dare to add “peace”which we need so expressly now.Let us thank Maestro Antonio Mosca and his friends for their devotion to set this big project in action and wishthem success with all our heart.

Our city is happy to host the participants of the 14th Suzuki Method World Convention, from April 12 - 17, 2006, thefirst meeting in the third millenium after the solemn commemoration of the founder of the method, ShinichiSuzuki, in his native country, Japan. It will be an excellent opportunity to discover and get to know Turin, and Italy,with its artistic treasures and natural beauty, and to visit the nation considered the "cradle" of music. With regardsto the musical patrimony of our country, the capital of Piedmont is an interesting place, and not only because ofits artists and composers. Turin has become the city of Vivaldi: the manuscripts of his masterpieces are preservedat the National Library where they can be admired. Moreover, Turin will be at the center of world-wide attentionin 2006, as the host city of the Winter Olympic Games. This is not a chance coincidence. We are convinced thatthere are significant and qualifying analogies between the Olympic spirit and music.Musicians and athletes, even though they don't speak the same language, are able to communicate thanks to acommon bond, a language able to overcome barriers which separate nations, with music on one side and sportson the other. The 14th Suzuki Method World Convention will be the most important International event after the WinterOlympic Games. The focus on children and music will provide a different perspective for Turin to be knownaround the world.

Dear Colleagues and Friends, Don’t ask me why I thought of organizing the 14th Suzuki Method Convention; in every artist there’s always a

bit of folly, if not, such a definition wouldn’t apply. At sixty, everything becomes clearer: the period of studying is past, as well as the orchestra years, the concerts,

the tours around the world, the delusions and the glory…everything has passed with lightning speed.Now, what I find wonderful is teaching the cello and music to many children, because I know how to give them

a great treasure for life. I am moved by their smiles, making music with them is like returning back in time.Let’s all meet in Turin to see more than three thousand children smile, and convince ourselves that education

and being a music teacher is an important mission; the same one that S. Suzuki indicated as a priority, enablinghumanity to become better and be happy.

Hotel Information

STRUCTURES OTHER THAN HOTELSThere are also a number of rooms and accommodations available in non-hotel structures for guests such as thoserun by religious, university or sports organizations, These are accommodations of an economic nature that do notguarantee the service of a hotel. Priority in the use of these structures will be given to large families or those nee-ding economic assistance. The request for economic accommodations must be presented by means of theDirector of the Suzuki School this student attends; however, even the arrangements in a non-hotel structurerequire the contribution for the organizational expenses of 35.00 Euros a day per person.

LODGINGS WITH FAMILIESFor children and young people there are a certain number of possible accommodations with famillies: the fami-lies are willingly a part of the Suzuki world, seeing as they are parents of students, former students, teachers, etc.The kind of hospitality guaranteed foresees the use of a double or single room and breakfast. However, lodgingswith a family have a cost of 20.00 Euros a day per person, to cover the organizational expenses. To be eligible forthe “Lodgings with Families” we invite you to contact the Organizational Secretary in writing.
