Successfully inaugurated by pianist Costanza Principe, 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, continues Saturday, May 30 (5 p.m.) with a concert by La Magnifica Quartet. On this occasion, the string quartet formed by Enrico Casazza and Isabella Longo on violins, Christian Serazzi on viola and Eugenio Solinas on cello, will perform a tribute to the Bohemian composer Antonín Dvořák in the "Gavazzeni" Ridotto of the Donizetti Theater, the venue for all the events. The concert, which features the collaboration of the Association La Magnifica Comunità, is set to be a musical journey through epochs and geographies, offering a dialogue between Viennese classicism and the folk suggestions of Central Europe and the New World, highlighting the richness of tone and narrative of the string quartet. Opening it will be the celebrated Quartet op. 76 no. 2 by Franz Joseph Haydn, known as "of the fifths," an admirable example of formal balance and thematic invention. The heart of the program is precisely dedicated to Antonín Dvořák, the protagonist of an ideal "Bohemian globetrotter," with the Quartet No. 12 "American." born during the composer's stay in the United States, reflecting a fascinating encounter between European tradition and American folk suggestions, and with the Zwei Waltzes op. 54, which offer a more intimate and lighter look, where the elegance of the waltz is colored with freshness and liveliness. La Magnifica Quartet was born within the ensemble La Magnifica Comunità with the intention of pushing beyond philological and stylistic research and distinguishing itself by the evocative authenticity of its musical production. Winner of numerous awards, La Magnifica Comunità, in its various branches, is one of the most influential chamber ensembles devoted to repertoire from Baroque to Romanticism in the world. Its many awards include the "Choc de la Musique," for its recording of the 4th volume of Boccherini's Quintets on the Brilliant label, which also garnered the coveted 5 Diapasons from the well-known French magazine Diapason, as well as praiseworthy reviews from other specialized magazines. He has also recorded for other major record labels such as Sony, Harmonia Mundi, Amadeus, Tactus, and Tring International.
