The project “Scintille di Musica nel Duomo di Milano” reaches its second edition this year.
On the wave of last season’s great success, when all 1,300 seats for each concert were sold out in just a few hours, Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo and Cameristi della Scala are once again presenting, with the fundamental support of Intesa Sanpaolo, a new cycle of three concerts in Milan’s cathedral.
If last year the musical journey took us through three great European schools of music, this year the musical sparks of the Cameristi della Scala will illuminate the three main genres of great Western music: instrumental music written for concert performance, music for the theatre, then opera and dance, and music composed to sacred texts or conceived to be performed in church.
The cycle begins on Wednesday 23 October at 7.30 p.m. with Strumenti in concerto!, a tribute to two instruments, horn and cello, which are very different from each other, but which composers often place side by side in orchestral compositions due to affinities̀ of timbre and extension. We will hear them in a brilliant Mozart concerto and in a virtuosic piece by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach with horn player Emanuele Urso, first horn of the La Scala orchestra, and cellist Trey Lee.
The second concert, Fairy dance, on Monday 18 November at 7.30 p.m., will be dedicated to opera and dance music from the late Baroque period: little-known but extraordinarily beautiful pieces, to which one of the masterpieces of the 20th century will be juxtaposed: three Romanian Dances by Bela Bartok. The concert will be conducted by Maestro Andrea De Carlo with the participation of soprano Giulia Bolcato.
The cycle of concerts concludes on Wednesday 11 December at 7.30 p.m. with sacred music, which has been the music par excellence for centuries and boasts a repertoire full of great masterpieces. This concert also represents the Christmas Concert offered by the Cameristi della Scala and Intesa Sanpaolo to the city of Milan, and will be conducted by Maestro Giulio Prandi, together with the Choir of the Ghislieri College in Pavia, with pieces by Mozart and Graupner, concluding with Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria.
The review ‘Scintille di musica’, realised thanks to the contribution of Intesa Sanpaolo, which has always been actively involved in the cultural development of the territory, and the hospitality of the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo in this extraordinary sacred place, is a tribute to all citizens.
Admission to the concerts is free, subject to compulsory booking on this website in proximity to the events. The concert will be streamed live on the Duomo Milano Tv Youtube channel.
