The Concert Songs

 

The concert program will be a journey to discover contemporary composers who are still alive.

We will go from Morricone to Piazzolla, from Yiruma to Allevi and then finish with a medley composed of three classics of the Neapolitan song: Tu si na cosa grande, Torna a Surriento, Malafemmena.

 

The authors of these pieces are the current excellences in the world.

 

Ennio Morricone Italian author of soundtracks for more than 300 films. Astor Piazzolla, Argentine. He who gave new life to Tango, famous for his "Libertango". Yiruma, Korean. Che the one who wrote the famous "River flows in you" soundtrack for the Twilight saga.

 

Yann Tiersen instead is the French composer, famous for the soundtracks of the film "The fabulous world of Amélie".

 

Finally Allevi, Italian excellence that has given a new market to the piano with new listeners and a new way of creating piano music.

 

There will also be an unscheduled program with a surprise to be discovered ...
