15th Week of the Italian Language in the World
Free tickets registration: http://tinyurl.com/os74c3rThe Duo Lartaun-Giliberti (Baritone and Piano) was born in Berlin in 2014. The common vision that brought the two artists, Nicolas Lartaun (Baritone) and Marco Giliberti (Piano), to join forces in this artistic production is the one of a musical performance lived as a cathartic experience through the use of sound vibrations that bound the artists together with the audience.
The repertoire that connects the two artists is the one of the great European song tradition, with American influences from the last century, in a field in which music does not only hold the artistic value of the compositions, but also gives vital force to poems and other literary works on which it is created and modelled.
The Duo performed in several occasions since its birth with various concerts around the world especially in Berlin, Milan and Chile.Dante Alighieri in Music
Dante’s portrayals are undisputed masterpieces of visual and allegorical imagery, enriched not only by extensive use of figurative language, but also by concrete physical descriptions.
“Dante Alighieri in Music” designed by Duo Lartaun-Giliberti, is a musical staging of an interesting confab of passionate quotations, dialogues, music and texts of several composers, from the early Baroque to the latest avant-garde music, who dedicated their compositions to “il Sommo Poeta”.
The songs and pieces that will be performed are a testament to the vast repertoire of music dedicated to Dante Alighieri, representing the poet’s spiritual and poetic vision and depicting the landscapes of his journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise as well as in La Vita Nuova.PROGRAMME
