QUINTETTO BISLACCO
Walter Zagato: violin
Duilio Galfetti: violin, mandolin, guitar, arrangements Roberto Molinelli: viola, arrangements
Marco Radaelli: cello
Federico Marchesano: double bass
From Mozart to the Cugini di Campagna, from Charlie Parker to Bach, from Strauss to Beethoven, the Quintetto Bislacco's territory is music without borders; a new way of listening to music played on 'classical' instruments.
Masterpieces from history intertwine without barriers, emphasising that the great fascination of music is precisely that it has no limits.
The quintet's strengths lie in the great care taken over the arrangements, virtuosity, research and study of the different musical genres tackled, and mastery of the stage, a dimension in which the Quintetto Bislacco expresses all its vitality, involving the audience in a show that is always entertaining and exciting.

IL TEMPO PERFETTO - LE QUATTRO STAGIONI di Vivaldi
Gruppo Estemporanea
ESTEMPORANEA was created expressly to combine high musical professionalism with the pleasure of working, playing, teaching together.
Written in 1720, the Four Seasons have not aged in 304 years. Each season immerses the spectator in landscapes and moods, entering the heart of nature's elements through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter: an absolute masterpiece of chamber music.

Un altro Novecento - Duo Fantino - Pesce
The concert entitled "Un altro novecento: i virtuosismi del cuore" (Another 20th century: virtuosity of the heart) aims to present the accordion and piano in styles and sounds that have spanned the last century, characterising and enriching it with magical suggestions and spectacles. Melancholic notes and acrobatic phrasing alternate on the keyboard of the accordion and the piano, which become one within a programme to be discovered.
The programme includes "Fellini's Fantasy" by Nino Rota and Enrico Pesce, who also composed and played the pieces "Come il demonio apparve a Frate Ruffino" and "Ofelia"; "Czàrdàs" by Vittorio Monti; "Milonga Sin Palabras", "Libertango", "Jeanne y Paul", "Oblivion" by Astor Piazzolla; "Milonga della farfalla impegnata" by Nicola Campogrande; "Laurita" and "Fou Rire" by Richard Galliano; Theme front "Schindler's list" by John Williams.
