THE CENTER OF MUSIC Concerts in the Gavazzeni Auditorium 5th edition Eight concerts scheduled on Saturday afternoons in the Ridotto Gavazzeni of the Donizetti Theater: back for the fifth consecutive year is Il Centro della Musica, a well-established event promoted by the Donizetti Theater Foundation in collaboration with the Bergamo City Council's Social Policies Department. Eight concerts, scheduled between May 23 and July 11, offering a wide cross-section of sounds, rhythms and colors hosted in a cozy venue that enhances the intimate dimension of the concert by encouraging a more direct, almost confidential listening. A precious opportunity to be able to enter the city's main theater and its Ridotto named after a great conductor, on an unusual day and time. An original way to experience the city center by combining the magic of music with being together in the theater. "At its fifth edition, The Center for Music is one of the initiatives that best testifies to our Foundation's openness to musical realities, and therefore cultural realities in a more general sense, of our territory, reflecting a spirit of sharing artistic proposals that is naturally transmitted in the "dialogue" established between performers and audience." specifies Massimo Boffelli, General Director of the Donizetti Theater Foundation, "The renewed collaboration with the Department of Social Policies of the City of Bergamo is a sign of an institutional synergy that aims to make the most of an initiative with an inclusive character, intended for audiences of all ages." "This year also consolidates the partnerships with the Orchestra Filarmonica Italiana, Ensemble Locatelli, CDpM, and Associazione Musica Aperta, already present in previous editions of Il Centro della Musica and in other festivals promoted by our Foundation, while we welcome the entry of the Vittorio Polli and Annamaria Stoppani Foundation, the Società del Quartetto and the Associazione La Magnifica Comunità. The increase in the number of concerts and thus partners is further proof of the vitality of the review itself," Boffelli continued. The fifth edition of The Center for Music begins May 23 with a piano recital by Costanza Principe, featuring Robert Shumann's Kinderszenen, Op. 15 and Three Fantastic Pieces, Op. 111, two collections that, despite their seemingly fragmentary dimensions, draw a coherent path between memory, imagination and restlessness. The concert is in collaboration with the Vittorio Polli and AnnaMaria Stoppani Foundation and the Victor de Sabata and Aldo Ceccato Music Library. This will be followed on May 30 by La Magnifica Quartet, a string quartet emanating from the La Magnifica Comunità Association. The heart of the program, which will include the performance of Franz Joseph Haydn's famous Quartet Op. 76 No. 2 at the beginning, will be the music of Antonín Dvořák, whose Quartet No. 12 "American" , which originated during the Bohemian composer's stay in the United States, and 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. There are two appointments bearing the seal of the Orchestra Filarmonica
