ACITKO was founded in 2011 with the aim of bringing together Italian and Korean cultures through the organization of concerts, shows, events, and exhibitions in Italy and in South Korea. Most of our members are based in Milano, Italy and Seoul, Korea, but our members come from different parts of the world, including Albania, Argentina, Macedonia, Italy, South Korea, and United States. 

Every year ACITKO organizes the Maria Malibran International Opera Competition in Milan, which just celebrated its 8th edition in June 2019. We have had competitors from all over the world participate in the competition, and the members of the commission consist of renowned artistic directors, conductors, and agents in the field of opera.

Numerous finalists and winners have been cast for opera, concerts, and collaboration contracts by the members of the commission, as well as by national and international musical casting agents present during the finale.

Some of ACITKO's highlights include:

​

• 2019: musical marathon Weekend in Musica at Casa Museo Boschi di Stefano; fully staged performance of Così fan tutte in Teatro SOMS Caldana; West Side Story & the Great American Songbook concert in Segrate (MI)

L'IMPIEGO DELLA MUSICA PER RAGGIUNGERE OBIETTIVI SFIDANTI

Note di Coaching

At any point in one's professional career, it is important to take a moment to assess one's objectives by evaluating all the possible means, risks, and opportunities. 

• What is the best orientation for my career? 

• How can I expand my contacts quickly and profitably?

• What does the market require and how do these requests combine with my talents?

NoteDiCoaching, methodology created and conducted by Tullia Martiradonna and applied also in the musical context, helps both senior professionals and young beginners in a specific manner to find the answers, and help become aware of their abilities and attitudes in comparison with the needs of the entertainment world.
