Roberto Paci Dalò creates a “musical dinner” at the Groeneveld Forum in 2008, an international artistic meeting held annually at the Groeneveld Castle in Baarn, the Netherlands. Dinner dishes are served according to their color and in different areas of the castle. The red, black, green and white of the food are the counterbalance to the live electronics of Roberto Paci Dalò and the a cappella songs of a quartet of the Koninklijk Conservatorium.
The four colours of the menu are a metaphor for a rich musical programme. With Roberto Paci Dalò he performs live electronics with Dragan Klaic. In addition, four singers: Michal Bitain soprano; Kaspar Kröner counter-tenor; Ban Eastely tenor; Maurits Draijer bass (all students of the Koninklijk Conservatorium) perform in a cappella singing by John Dowland (1563-1626).
All of this seals the wonderful spaces of the castle of Groeneland, rural enclave and town at the same time and
outpost of the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture.
Roberto Paci’s project rethinks art and music in relation to food and the primary sector, from agriculture to farming.
