Concert and reception. Duo MultiVerso di Cerino (Italy) Palma Di Gaetano, flute Giordano Muolo, clarinet Angela Ignacchiti, piano "The Cerino Multiverse" Black Carmen - Variations from Bizet's Carmen Amamus Amadeus - Transcriptions from famous themes from Mozart's operatic and non-operatic compositions In spite of Joachim - from Rossini's Barber of Seville...and more Morricordando - a tribute to Ennio Morricone Melium Bondare - the most famous James Bond film themes composed by John Barry Napoletando - Neapolitan songs and music in the "Cerino" style 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!
