Bologna

On the 29th at Teatro Manzoni the 45th Bologna Festival opens with the only Italian date of the European tour of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, conductor Simon Rattle. The programme includes Bartók with the "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta", Busoni with the "Sarabande from Due studi per il Doktor Faust" and Brahms' Fourth Symphony. Founded in 1981, the ensemble was first mentored by Claudio Abbado; Rattle succeeded Abbado as head of the Berlin Philharmonic for sixteen years. Today he is the conductor of the Bavarian Radio Orchestra, one of Europe's largest.

The Festival continues until 27 October.

 

Milan

Cuba at the Blue Note, where Mercadonegro, one of the most representative salsa orchestras on the European scene, will play on the 3rd. Founded by musicians from different parts of Latin America, the orchestra has developed a style that blends musical influences from Cuba, Peru, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, Italia and Brazil, creating a powerful, modern and unmistakable sound. We have heard them at London's Ronnie Scott's, the Glastonbury Festival, the Parisian New Morning, the Istanbul Jazz Festival and the Montreux Jazz Festival. The band played for three years with the queen of salsa, Celia Cruz. At the Blue Note with the band will be Alex Wilson, one of the leading pianists on the European Latin jazz scene.
