Get ready for an evening of symphonic brilliance at the Teatro del Casinò, Sanremo! Tonight's concert, titled "A Cello as Narrator and a Brilliant Educational Work," is a collaborative effort between the Sanremo Symphony Orchestra Foundation, Cassini and Colombo high schools. It's all about bridging the gap between school and symphony, engaging the young and the passionate!
Yesterday, students got a sneak peek of the concert during an open rehearsal that kicked off with insights from professors Jacopo Cassese and Paolo Bianchi.
Maestro Georgios Balatsinos leads this musical journey through two centuries of English music. Prepare to be moved by the lyrical intensity of Edward Elgar and the theatrical ingenuity of Benjamin Britten.
As the show opener, experience Elgar's poignant and introspective "Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85." This masterpiece is a poignant reflection of war's aftermath and the composer's personal anxiety. Remarkably, Elgar entrusts the cello with the role of narrator, allowing it to weave a delicate yet powerful tale of its own time.
Following Elgar is the vivacious and elegant "Soirées musicales" by Benjamin Britten, a suite that revives the playful and brilliant spirit of Italian opera.
The program concludes with Britten's "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra," a 20th-century educational classic. Built upon a theme from Purcell, this composition delves into the structure and timbres of the orchestra, illuminating them through virtuosistic variations. The final fugue brings all instruments together in a grand celebration of musical ingenuity.
