Share

06 October 2021A season that ranges from the rich world of classical music - which remains the pillar of the festival - to contemporary musical theater, jazz, music for the cinema, band music and popular music from various countries around the world. The concerts of the Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra resume in the “Ennio Morricone” Auditorium of the “Tor Vergata” University of Rome. After the forced interruption of the two previous seasons due to Covid-19, the 2021-2022 one promises to be particularly intriguing, with twenty-one concerts from 13 October to 4 May.

Five appointments on the bill with the Roma Sinfonietta, which inaugurates the festival on 13 October with two great protagonists of music in the years between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Mahler with the Symphony n. 4 and Schönberg, conducted by Fabio Maestri and with the voice of soprano Sabrina Cortese. The Orchestra returns on 10 November, but this time it will be Franco Piersanti who will conduct it in the music composed by himself for the films of Moretti, Amelio, Luchetti and of course for the Montalbano television series, as well as a piece dedicated to Ennio Morricone. The ductility of the team will be demonstrated in the concert on November 24 in which he will join two excellent soloists such as Vincenzo Bolognese (violin) and Luca Pincini (cello) first in three pieces by Vivaldi and then in three by Bacalov.The Roma Sinfonietta will also be involved in contemporary musical theater, with

by Lucio Gregoretti and

(first performance) by Marco Betta, two one-acts based on texts by that musicologist and man of culture who was Bruno Cagli, to whose memory this evening of April 21 is dedicated , for which we will exceptionally move to the Auditorium Parco della Musica. Lavinia Bini and Bruno Taddia sing, Francesco Lanzillotta conducts. As the season inaugurated, the Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra closes it on May 4, with the first performance in Rome

, a melologue by Marcello Panni - who will direct it personally - based on a text by Simone Dini Gandini, recited by Anna Nogara.

Other orchestral groups will also go up to the park of the “Ennio Morricone” Auditorium. The Roma Opera Ensemble, made up of elements from the Roman Opera Foundation, will play an opera program (Rossini, Mozart, Bizet, Verdi) with mezzo-soprano Sara Rocchi and baritone Simone Alberti (13 December). With the Italian Popular Orchestra directed by Ambrogio Sparagna the music changes - it is appropriate to say - and we move on to the taranta (February 23). An orchestra, but made up of wind instruments only, is also the Band of the Italian Army directed by Filippo Cangiamila, who will play Rodrigo, Gulda and Bernstein (April 13).

Moving on to the soloists, here is Giuseppe Albanese, a star of national and international pianism, who in the recital entitled "Invitation to dance" proposes his most recent CD (20 October). Staying in the piano field, Costanza Principe will also perform (November 3), a great promise of Italian concert music, and the duo Carbonara-Soscia (November 17). Among the chamber groups there is the flute-guitar duo Amigdala, formed by Bianca Maria Fiorito and Gianmarco Ciampa (1 December), two young people on the rise, then the internationally renowned duo formed by Silvia Chiesa on cello and Maurizio Baglini on piano (March 16). The two classical chamber music formations are represented by the Henao Quartet with a concert dedicated to Schubert (23 March) and by the Ars Trio di Roma with a French program (30 March).Instead, the Quint'ètto is definitely out of the box, made up of professors from the National Orchestra of the Accademia di S. Cecilia in Rome, ranging in all genres of music, from Mozart to Elvis Presley (October 27). A special tribute to the flute and his large family is that of four flutists: Marco Felicioni for ethnic music, Laura Pontecorvo for the baroque, Andrea Oliva for the classical and Roberto Fabbriciani for the contemporary (2 March).Andrea Oliva for the classical and Roberto Fabbriciani for the contemporary (March 2).Andrea Oliva for the classical and Roberto Fabbriciani for the contemporary (March 2).
