Like I Suoni delle Dolomiti (Sounds of the Dolomites), an event now in its 29th edition, music on the road among the peaks of Trentino. Like Le Dimore del Quartetto, which this week takes us to the Tuscan Val d'Orcia. Like Elba Music, which in the wake of the union between music and nature, between art and history, introduces us to the beauty of Portoferraio and the other towns on the island; Martha Argerich's piano opens.
S. QUIRICO VAL D'ORCIA (SI)
On the 21st in the Casa dell'Abate Naldi the Trio Fenice concert, music by Schubert and Brahms. The Casa dell'Abate Naldi, also known as Palazzo Simonelli-Santi, was built in the 17th century on behalf of Matteo Naldi, a Sienese physician and scientist, archiater to Pope Alexander VII Chigi. The Dimore del Quartetto events, the creative enterprise that supports young international string quartets in launching their careers and enhancing the European heritage of historic residences, continue. Next concert: 26 August in Siena, Chiesa di S. Agostino
Trentino
"Listen, Dolomites, sounds, open spaces, silence, light, high lands, walking, commitment, sharing, respect, accessibility, tradition": these are the points of the Manifesto of the Sounds of the Dolomites, the festival now in its 29th edition, from 28 August to 29 September in the mountains of Trentino. Music on the way among the peaks, a month of concerts in spaces reached on foot by the public in the company of musicians, listening to world music, classical music, songwriting, jazz, encounters between music and literature. It starts in the groove of world music, or rather of fado: on the 28th at Malga Tassulla, in the natural amphitheatre enclosing the Pian della Nana, in the northernmost sector of the Brenta Dolomites, Carminho, one of the most talented fado singers of the latest generations, will bring the poignant poetry of Portugal's music par excellence to high altitudes. Among the numerous appointments, we would like to mention a 'classic' of the festival, namely the trek: three days of sounds and words, from 4 to 6 September in the rocky heart of the Pale di San Martino, where an ideal bridge will be built between the mountains of Trentino and the American Badlands through the words of writer Paolo Cognetti and the songs of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash and other 'stars and stripes' legends, interpreted by the voice and guitar of Pietro Brunello and the cello of Mario Brunello.
Isle of Elba
From 30 August to 14 September, the 28th edition of the Festival will be held in Portoferraio and other municipalities on the Island of Elba, Capoliveri, Rio, Marciana, and Marciana Marina. In the wake of the combination of music and nature, art and history, and the dialogue between different repertoires, styles and sounds, from chamber and symphonic music to jazz and Brazilian music. The numerous concerts include pianist Martha Argerich on the 30th, with Beethoven's Concerto No. 1.
