    news release Italian Cultural Institute 686 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10012 Tel. 212.879.4242 Fax 212.861.4018 email: [email protected] New York, April 21, 2006 Giovanni Allevi: Undefined & Unfettered. One Night….One Place The Blue Note—Monday, May 15, 2006, 8:00 pm & 10:30 pm In his first New York performance since two sold out shows at The Blue Note in March 2005, Italian composer/pianist Giovanni Allevi returns to the city that was the inspiration for his latest CD, No Concept (Sony BMG). Written over the course of a steamy New York summer, No Concept is as much the embodiment of a musical journey and philosophy as it is a visceral ode to the melting pot of culture, style and sound that we call New York. In the thirteen original compositions which make up No Concept, Allevi challenges himself and the listener to embrace tradition but not to be encumbered by it. The past is a base coat in the quest for a contemporary interpretation of our common human experience. As an artist, Allevi’s palette is rich and audible in the sounds and rhythms of classical, avant-garde, jazz, pop and rock traditions, but the canvas is set on end with every touch of the key. Claudia Di Meo of ANSA wrote, “his music strikes your heart, a witchcraft which leads the listener to a borderline, over a precipice made of accents….complicated metrics without ever being presumptuous….sometimes it is only a sweet caress which touches your body like the red velvet of a theatre.” Allevi’s musical journey began by stealing time, literally, at the piano.

  • TDS-2016-Libretto.Pdf
    Andrea Bocelli Timbro pastoso e riconoscibile come una firma, che risuona in oltre ottanta milioni di dischi, tenore in grado di spaziare dal Belcanto al Verismo, Andrea Bocelli è stato eletto ovunque nel mondo quale testimonianza della più alta tradizione vocale italiana. Da sempre è impegnato nella diffusione globale di messaggi quali positività, speranza, perseveranza, e nel sostenere cause sociali in ambito di ricerca scientifica, lotta alla povertà, universalità dell’educazione primaria. Ciò fa sì che venga percepito, ovunque, come concittadino: voce che dà voce al mondo. Perfezionatosi sotto la guida di Franco Corelli, Andrea Bocelli ha raggiunto inizialmente una vasta notorietà vincendo nel 1994 il Festival di Sanremo. Parallelamente ha avviato il proprio folgorante percorso classico, affrontando sulla scena – diretto da Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa, Zubin Mehta – i titoli del grande repertorio lirico: da Macbeth e Il Trovatore a Madama Butterfly, La Bohème, Tosca, fino a capolavori francesi quali Werther, Carmen, Roméo et Juliette. Tra gli innumerevoli riconoscimenti, la stella che sulla Walk of Fame di Hollywood brilla dal 2010 in suo onore. Artista dei primati, dei concerti di fronte a folle oceaniche, ha sbaragliato ogni record discografico. Il suo cd Arie Sacre (con la bacchetta di Myung-Whun Chung) si attesta quale album classico più venduto mai pubblicato da un artista solista. Protagonista di concerti, immancabilmente sold-out, in sedi blasonate quali la Carnegie Hall, il Wiener Staatsoper, il Metropolitan Opera House, Andrea Bocelli ha inciso opere quali La Bohème, Tosca, Il Trovatore, Werther, Pagliacci, Cavalleria Rusticana, Carmen, Andrea Chénier. Tra le registrazioni più recenti, Manon Lescaut sotto la guida di Plácido Domingo, Turandot e – uscita il 22 luglio 2016 - Aida sotto la direzione di Zubin Mehta.
