“The Baroque represents the Age of Disorder, in which composers set aside all established knowledge to indulge in ‘the risky thrill of experimentation,’ leaving behind a legacy of music that is alive, unstable, and, for this very reason, infinitely modern. The title of the series, “The Future Is Baroque,” stems precisely from this awareness: in the Baroque, we find the origin of all contemporary exploration, the spark of invention, and the freedom of a language in transformation.
An evening in two parts: Cristiano Didio on solo guitar with a nocturnal program, followed by the Bassoon Quartet performing pieces transcribed from the Baroque repertoire and original works written for this ensemble. A dialogue between solitude and ensemble, between light and shadow, tracing the thread that connects the Baroque to the music of today. An evening presented by the Young Artists section of the G. Donizetti Conservatory. The evening begins with a self-guided tour of the palace’s historic halls; this will be followed by a meet-and-greet with the artists on the terrace. Limited seating.”
