Titina De Filippo's poems, set to music by Brunello Canessa and the new acoustic concert by Enzo Avitabile. Friday 21 and Saturday 22 October, 21 pm.
After the warm appreciation of the public for the opening of the season with La donna è mobile, the programming of the Trianon Viviani continues with two musical events this week.
On Friday 21st, at 21 pm, the Teatro della Canzone napoletana hosts “Filumena, aka Titina. Music in words”, the concert with songs by Brunello Canessa who set poems by his aunt Titina De Filippo to music. The next day, Saturday 22nd, again at 21 pm, the new acoustic recital by Enzo Avitabile.
“Filumena, aka Titina. Music in words” – Titina De Filippo is a very important figure in Neapolitan theater, a sort of balance point between the strong and conflicting personalities of the brothers Eduardo and Peppino.
After retiring from the stage due to his bad heart, he concentrated his creativity on other arts, such as painting and poetry. From here, from his melancholic verses, this concert was born, an ideal continuation of the tradition of Neapolitan song often born from the meeting of a poet and a musician.
Brunello Canessa, nephew of the great late artist, set to music in the 90s about twenty of her poems, collected at the time in a compilation produced by Gino Aveta for the Curci editions in which, to interpret the songs, artists of the caliber of Lina Sastri, Ron, Eugenio Bennato, Pietra Montecorvino, Nino Buonocore, Lino Vairetti, Leopoldo Mastelloni, Riccardo Pazzaglia and, more recently, Fiorella Mannoia were called. In this show Canessa, one of the most active artists of the Neapolitan underground scene, makes this work his own again by interpreting the songs live, with some recited "incursions", for a sort of concert/story dedicated to the myth of Titina.
On stage, Susanna Canessa (cello and voice), Ingrid Sansone (narrating voice), Giorgio Pinto (narrating voice), with the participation of Lino Vairetti of Osanna. With them the musicians Marco Corcione (piano), Roberto Giangrande (bass), Francesco De Laurentiis (violin) and Leopoldo Brancaccio (drums).
Produced by Brunello Canessa official and the Two of the City of the Sun, the concert supports the activities of the Rotary club Pozzuoli.
Enzo Avitabile in “Napoletana” – The composer, saxophonist and singer-songwriter performs in a special acoustic concert dedicated to Neapolitan song, which also features the harpina, an instrument invented for the occasion.
With a title that seems to refer to the historic anthology by Roberto Murolo, Enzo Avitabile now proposes a new way of approaching the Neapolitan song, different from the Neapolitan world music frequented in recent years, as in the soul-funky of a now distant season. In this concert, which sees him in an acoustic debut with few instruments, his is a free and religious song but also blasphemous, where religion is first and foremost popular sentiment rather than organized church, a secular prayer that seeks to meet people and emotions lost in a laugh, in a new moon that is no longer and never will be that of Di Giacomo, but that does not even want to be the normalized and globalized one of reality shows and silicone music.
In this concert, produced by Black tarantella, on stage with Enzo Avitabile (voice, harpsichord and sopranino sax in E flat), Gianluigi Di Fenza (guitar), Emidio Ausiello (bass drum, drum, tambourine and castanets) and Marco Pescosolido (cello).
