A.M.E.N.A.  is the "solo" clarinets chamber orchestra of the Philharmonic Society Pietro Borgognoni of  Pistoia (Tuscany, Italy).

Their  name "amena", seemingly is only an adjective that means "agreeable  music" ,

but really it  is the double acronym of the names of the initial components and of the latin phrase “Alma Musa Elevetur Nostra Anima”.

At the same time, "amena" is their motto, which

represents the synthesis and the cultural

intention of the orchestra:  to play 

“amena” music  (that is, according to the

dictionary:  fun, pleasing,  and, why not,

intriguing music).

​

The challenge for these musicians is to be able to

entertain and attract any audience.

The listener's curiosity is tickled with a program

of original arrangements, able to give the listener  

the vibrations and sensations of the great

authors who are explored, using the clarinet as

an instrument of exceptional versatility.

 

Amena is formed by clarinet masters:

Andrea Mazzei

Nicla Pagliai

Elena Corsini

Stefano Cecchi

Alberto Rossi
