San Marino. Six musical appointments to admire the sunrise on Mt.
In the Republic of San Marino we return to see the dawns to the sound of the great repertoires from the humanistic courts to Jazz on the occasion of six appointments at sunrise.
From Sunday 24 July the 14th edition of Alba sul monte … in concert, the review organized by the Camerata del Titano association which for almost three decades, has marked and characterized the musical summers of San Marino. The program is divided into six consecutive Sundays, all in the spectacular scenery of the Archpriest’s Gardens of the Basilica del Santo, a panoramic terrace that allows a unique view: “… few such sunrises can be seen anywhere else in Europe.” (TA Trollope – Report from the trip to Italy 1862).
It starts on Sunday 24 July at 6 am with the concert Italian melody, Pierfranco Manzi – tenor, Sergio Scappini – accordion. A program that highlights Maestro Sergio Scappini’s skills as performer and arranger with the digital accordion, with some of the most beautiful pages of the tenor repertoire. The rarefied air that blows in the Archpriest’s Gardens and the rising of the sun will be the ideal context for music by Verdi, Leoncavallo, Modugno and others. “Libiam ne ‘happy chalices”, “Vesti la giubba”, “Tace la lip”, and some songs designed for the place and the occasion: “Mattinata”, “Nel blu painted di blu”, “O sole mio”.
It continues on July 31, with the Eccentrico Trio, INTERRUPTED DIALOGUES. The ensemble, already known to the San Marino public, proposes a program that leads from the opera to the most popular 20th century repertoire. Then we will pass from music by Mozart, Rossini, Puccini, to Morricone, Piazzolla; Ellington, Jobin and Korea.
A TICKET AT HOME, the sounds of the harp and the voice of Giuseppina Ciarla will take us, on Sunday 7 August, to a dreamy and elegant musical context. First harp of the opera of Sarasota (USA), the artist shares his passion for music between the classical world and a genre of his own in which he sings as a soloist accompanying himself with the harp in an international repertoire that ranges from Neapolitan songs to the great movie soundtracks, a Michael Jackson.
After the dreamy atmospheres of Giuseppina Ciarla’s harp, on Sunday 14th August we will move on to GUITAR LOCURA, “Madness of guitars” with Riccardo Ascani and Roberto Ippoliti. A program that crosses flamenco, bossanova, Cuban Boleros and Latin Jazz. With music by Gipsy King, Paco de Lucia, Egberto Gismonti, Fausto Papetti, Chick Corea and many others.
Sunday 21 August, Lorena Sali and the Open 4tet in FEEL GOODa concert where the great authors of Jazz are revisited with blues, bossa, funky salsa … Feeling Good is a musical project but also a concept that, as in the song by Nina Simone, helps to feel good with the music.
The last appointment in Alba sul Monte… in Concert, Sunday 28 August, takes us back to the most ancient atmospheres of our historical tradition, when the relationships, including musical ones, of San Marino with the Duchy of Urbino were deep and frequent. THE HIGH CHAPEL IN THE TIME OF HUMANISM with the Ensemble Nova Alta, he re-proposes the ceremonial and institutional music of the Italian humanistic Courts, Courts that have marked history for their solemnity, genius and innovations.
The novelties of an always rich and varied programming are accompanied by sweet confirmations. At the concerts, as a tradition, there will be breakfast with coffee and donuts provided by the Patrizia Pastry shop in San Marino.
