Laura Marzadori in concert in Bologna in Piazza Maggiore

BOLOGNA, 07 JUN – In 2014 Daniel Baremboim wanted her as first violin of the Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan when she was 25 years old, but already in 2004 at the National Arts Prize, Uto Ughi appreciated her “creative musicality and a absolute control; the spontaneity of phrasing combined with a continuous search for the beauty of sound”. On June 9th at 9.30pm, the Bolognese Laura Marzadori will go on stage in Piazza Maggiore in her city for the first time, for the closing concert of the Bologna Portici Festival which also serves as a preview of the festival dedicated to Ottorino Respighi. Laura Marzadori has dedicated particular attention to the composer from Bologna, but Roman by adoption, for many years: in 2010 she created a monographic CD containing, among other pieces, the Concerto in A major P 49 for violin and orchestra, the same one she will perform Sunday evening in Piazza Maggiore which, according to tradition, promises to be very full. The evening places particular emphasis on the promotion of young talents: in fact, accompanying the Volinista will be the young instrumentalists of the Orchestra of the Martini Conservatory of Bologna directed by Giulio Arnofi, also a rising talent, born in 1990, founder of La Filharmonie from Florence. Alongside the rare Respighian Concerto (left incomplete by the author, but revised and completed by Salvatore Di Vittorio) and considering the great variety of the audience, which ranges from music lovers to the most curious neophytes, the program combines a second “more pop” part dedicated to the great Italian cinema, an anthology of soundtracks by Riz Ortolani, Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota, with orchestral arrangements curated by the Applied Music students of the Conservatory themselves. And therefore, between the solemnity of San Petronio and the majesty of the Palazzi D’Accursio and the Podestà, the familiar notes of A school trip by the other Bolognese Pupi Avati, of the Nuovo cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore, and of the Fellini masterpieces Amarcord and Half past eight. Entrance to the concert is free. (HANDLE).
