About Clariverso Duo in Cerino's Multiverse

Presenting an entire program for flute and clarinet duos was a daunting challenge, one that Giordano Muolo (clarinet) and Palma di Gaetano (flute) could face and overcome with the eclectic and surprising composer Alessandro Cerino at their side.

The "Cerino's Multiverse" project features music from a vast classical and modern repertoire, as well as film scores, united by the musical flair of an extraordinary composer who, for more than 35 years, has imbued his works with an unmistakable flavor rich in color and nuance, compositional flourishes, quotations, sudden dynamic shifts, and tempo developments that surprise, soothe, and excite the listener... and the performer alike!

A program that will unite the Multiple Musical Universes and transform two melodic instruments, immersed in somewhat unsettling logics but inevitably intertwined, inverted, and blended (as in Life!), into an orchestra. These performances are never banal or predictable, and through technical and virtuosic feats, they will reinterpret, in an "AlesSandro Cerino" style, famous themes that will transform, evolve, and enrich themselves before returning to their simplicity, always immersed in the diverse yet equal timbres of flute and clarinet.

A new and exclusive offering that, with fiery enthusiasm and a desire to communicate, is just waiting to be heard and applauded!

Born in 1970, he studied clarinet with Maestro Cornelio Martina at the "Tito Schipa" Conservatory of Music in Lecce. He attended a master class with Maestro Alessandro Travaglini and, in Rome, the annual advanced course with Maestro Valeria Serangeli (First Clarinet of the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa), with whom he edited the Pot Pourrì from "La Traviata," written by the 19th-century composer Giuseppe Cappelli for piccolo clarinet and piano. The revision was published by AIC (Accademia Italiana Clarinetto) and presented, along with its audio recording by Valeria Serangeli herself, on the CD Italian Souvenir at the CLARINET FEST 2013 in Assisi.

He has been a member of several chamber ensembles and has collaborated with the International Orchestra of Magna Grecia of Taranto and the Orchestra Festival Paisiello Taranto. He has won numerous national and international competitions.
