Presentation

After such a rich-of-content Season as last one, it was not easy to settle a program up to the expectations of our audience. The character doesn’t change: our aim is focusing on the world of the piano, with some digressions that make the 2012-2013 program quite fascinating.

Piano recital is the main attraction for all 88-keys fans. Therefore we dedicate a big space to it. But we have also the chamber-music and two pianos repertoire and furthermore, for the first time, even the string orchestra.

The opening concert is a very special event for Sacile: the great opera singer Ferruccio Furlanetto, ambassador and pride of our city in the world, will perform the intense and precious cycle of Lieder by Schubert 'Winterreise', with the young Russian pianist Igor Tchetuev.

The protagonists of our recitals are well-known pianists in the middle of their concert mission. In fact we have artists that are still fresh by the kind of enthusiasm that comes from an outstanding youthful career, as the Croatian Martina Filjak, the Neapolitan Mariangela Vacatello, and, of course, the just twenty-two years old Lukas Geniusas, winner of the German Piano Award 2012. The Hungarian pianist Gergely Bogányi, instead, has been on the international scene for over than twenty years, keeping on collecting a huge successe, especially for his performances of Chopin and Liszt.

The last concert is reserved to the Chinese pianist Yuja Wang, nowadays one of the most requested artists around the world, acclaimed for an amazing and never ordinary technique.

This year, for the event dedicated to piano duo, we have two artists who represent a pride for Italy: Enrico Pace and Igor Roma, whose harmony is guaranteed by similar pathways and a more than
ten-years-long collaboration.

For chamber music we chose two trios. The first is all female, Estrio, with Laura Gorna at the violin, Cecilia Radic at the cello and Laura Manzini at the piano, while the second is atypical for the presence of the clarinet instead of the more usual violin, with the great Corrado Giuffredi joining the cellist Silvia Chiesa and the pianist Maurizio Baglini.

Finally, the presence of the youth orchestra "Accademia d’Archi Arrigoni" of San Vito al Tagliamento conducted by Domenico Mason: the collaboration of this group of young musicians, that is collecting praises throughout Italy, will allow us to meet two violin’s talents, about whom we will certainly hear a lot, Laura Bortolotto and Christian Sebastianutto. With them, we willacclaim again the young and talented pianist Leonora Armellini from Padua.
