The traditional event organized by Officina Musicale within Mondomusica (Cremona, 1-3 October 2010) is based on the interaction between modern and ancient violin-making and composition.
Cremona – The Concerto in Movimento is one of the most eagerly awaited events of Mondomusica, and this year it will take place in the Stradivari Room on October the 1st at midday.
It’s at the 10th edition, but it still has one of the most innovative and original formulas.
“The Concerto in Movimento – says M° Filippo Fasser from Officina Musicale – is characterized by a sort of double birth: the birth of the instruments, just came out from the violin-maker workshops, and the birth of the pieces played, which are always composed according to the musicians’ peculiarities and skills.”
Contemporary violin-makers have never forgotten ancient big personalities like Stradivari, Amati, Guarneri del Gesù and their master directions, but in facts they work in the present of violin-making and music. That’s because the Concerto in Movimento includes in its program both classical and contemporary pieces and instruments.
The concert will be divided into 2 parts: the first one dedicated to string trio, with the performance of the Trio n.3 in A – Op. n.9 by L.W. Beethoven, while in the second part of the concert, the musicians will perform the 4 Scherzo for String Trio by M. Saroglia, a piece composed specially for the Concerto in Movimento.
“To play in this edition – continues M° Fasser – we called the string trio “I Solisti d’Europa” (The Soloists of Europe): an ensemble that combines very different artistic experiences. We believe that music can be taken as example for collaboration, orchestration, and overcoming the differences for a common target: the good execution of a piece and the beautiful experience of life.”
The musicians of the Concerto in Movimento 2010 are: Roberto Ranfaldi (first violin) and Luca Ranieri (first viola) of the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, and Alfredo Persichilli, first cello of the Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.
