Dear Jacopo,
Here, as I promised you, is a letter of support for your work. I have known you since 1997, when I heard one of your compositions for percussion in Paris. Since then, I have invited you to work with me at Tempo Reale. I know that you are very active in Paris and that you have founded a group of composers called Prisma. I hope that this group develops as you wish.
I hold your work in very high regard, both as a composer and as Director of the Education Department. I know the work you do at Tempo Reale very well and recommend it to everyone.
As a sign of my great esteem and encouragement for your career as a composer, I have awarded you an orchestral commission at Santa Cecilia.
I hope that this letter can help you with your projects and your music.
With my warm regards,
Luciano Berio
