BACH+, three piano concerts with Mariangela Vacatello on July 14th - 21st - 28th
The BACH+ project was born with the purpose of giving some performance opportunities to many promising young pianists of the Henze Music Institute and other important institutions such as the Musical High School of Arezzo and the conservatoires of Firenze and Terni. The concerts for two, three and four pianos by J. S. Bach ( WV 1060-1065), split over three evenings, provide to 16 pianists an opportunity to improve. The orchestral accompaniment will be provided in turn by the Archi Poliziani, RNCM Chamber Strings and the Montfort Quartett, augmented by other professionals performing at the Cantiere and the best students of the Henze Music Institute. Each evening will include the performance of a string orchestra and other soloists (the Italian premiere of Prelude and Fugue for guitar and orchestra by Lorenzo Turchi Floris, an Intermezzo for oboe and strings by Finzi, Britten’s Simple Symphony and Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten by Pärt). The young performers will be mentored by renowned pianists with a strong aptitude for teaching such as Mariangela Vacatello, Markus Bellheim, Cristina Capano, Alessandro Tricomi and Alessio Tiezzi. A fundamental premise of Cantiere is the meeting between young talents and professional musicians so that, with a spirit of mutual development, they can create events of unique artistic and educational importance.
