On Saturday, June 13, in the "Gavazzeni" Ridotto of the Donizetti Theater (5 p.m.), the fifth edition of Il Centro della Musica, an event promoted by the Donizetti Theater Foundation in collaboration with the Bergamo City Council's Social Policies Department, reaches its halfway point. The star of the concert will be the Mascoulisse Quartet, a trombone-only quartet emanating from the Italian Philharmonic Orchestra that fields Stefano Belotti (bass trombone), Alberto Pedretti (tenor trombone and arrangements), Fabio De Cataldo (alto and tenor trombone), and Antonio Mascherpa (alto and tenor trombone). To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Mascoulisse Quartet presents on this occasion a project entirely dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi, entitled "Verdi 1901," approached with a historical and deeply musical gaze. Indeed, the quartet plays original instruments from Verdi's time, restoring to the audience the Italian sound of the 19th century: warm, enveloping, textural. A sound that does not push, but tells. That does not overpower, but supports. A sound that comes from the natural breath of the instruments and their ability to sing. It is a journey inside a fascinating timbral palette of balance, depth and song. A plunge into a world of sound where every note has weight, color and soul; where music is never pure surface, but living matter that vibrates and is transmitted naturally. The "Verdi 1901" project starts with a simple and powerful question: what remained of Verdi's sound after his passing? The answer lies in the music itself, which has never remained silent. It just kept breathing, transforming, crossing time, but keeping its narrative and emotional power intact. The program runs through some of the most celebrated pages of Verdi's theater, reinterpreted through the chamber language and historical sensibility of the quartet, Rigoletto, Nabucco, La Traviata.
