A harmonious dialogue between voice and instruments
“Cantabile” will offer the audience a real musical journey, where the classical repertoire meets the contemporary one in a perfect balance of timbres and melodies. The protagonists of the evening will be the soprano Chiara Polese and the solo violinist Simona Cappabianca**, flanked by the solo cellists Aurelio Bertucci and Enrico Graziani.
The ensemble of young cellists
Making the concert even more special was the participation of **ChamberCelli**, an ensemble of 20 young cellists led by Aurelio Bertucci. A group that represents not only musical excellence, but also a high-level training opportunity for new generations of musicians.
A repertoire that spans the centuries
The program will range from the Baroque to the twentieth century, with pieces by Händel, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Paisiello, Gounod and Stravinsky, until touching the contemporary repertoire with the Magnificat by Marco Frisina and the famous Amapola by José María Lacalle. The musical arrangements, signed by Ivan Gabriele Puca, will shed new light on the encounter between voice and strings, transforming each piece into a true poetic composition.
An event not to be missed
Between art, spirituality and great music, “Cantabile” promises to be an unmissable event for enthusiasts and the curious, capable of enhancing the architectural beauty of the Neapolitan church and at the same time offering an intense and engaging musical experience.
