Salvatore Sciarrino Vanitas + Francesco Filidei Portrait

vanitas On next 5th December at 9,15 pm there will be the last concert of music@villaromana concerts series, devoted to 2 of the most genial and original Italian contemporary composers. They belong to different generations, but somehow their work has some points of contact and source of inspiration: the first one is Salvatore Sciarrino (1947), while the second is Francesco Filidei (1973). Emanuele Torquati, together with cellist Francesco Dillon and soprano Valentina Coladonato, will perform Sciarrino’s masterwork “Vanitas” (1981), with the significant subtitle “natura morta in un atto” (still life in one act), a 50 minutes long pieces in 5 parts, which explores a unique world of sounds and echoes between the singers and instrumentalists.
In the second part of the evening violinist Aldo Campagnari (Prometeo String Quartet) will join the Trio and several chamber and solo works by Francesco Filidei, going from istrumental virtuosity (his Piano Toccata) until more performative pieces, with a new work commissioned by Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung.
