April 6, 2024 Daytime visit with music by Laura Masotto on the violin

Modern Classical music, concert for violin and electronica

The music of Laura Masotto brings calm into our chaotic lives. Her artistic research and her unique compositions bring us closer to the essence of life, free from materialism and lost in the moment. The artist shows a profound evolution of her sound, further strengthened by her unique, intense and emotional musical identity.

Classically trained violinist and composer from Verona, Laura Masotto approached the violin at the age of five. After graduating from the Verona Conservatory, she began her musical career at 15 and, in 2019, she released her debut album, 'Fireflies'. Meanwhile, she Masotto performed in concerts for chamber and symphony orchestras throughout Europe, as well as composing soundtracks, taking up a six-month artistic residency at Fabra | Coats in Barcelona and share music with Deutsche Grammophon and 7K!.

Her new album, entitled 'The Spirit of Things', will be released on March 1st. The work conveys the true emotional impact of Laura Masotto's music who, in this work, was inspired by the shamanic journey that led her to find her animal spirit, at the conclusion of a course of studies undertaken in 2021 on shamanic practices. The album therefore represents a metaphorical journey into an invisible world, a new perception of the absence of life and nature, combined with ancestral and mysterious sound elements.

4 October 2024 – Harp Concert – Caroline Schmidt-Polex

'Go, thought, on golden wings'-
 

Words from the artist:  “Let me take you into the magical world of opera, where everything revolves around love, passion, jealousy, intrigue and murder are all wrapped up in beautiful melodies on the harp.

From “Lascia ch'io pianga” from “Rinaldo” by George Frideric Handel to “LaTraviata' by Giuseppe Verdi on the poignant aria “Una furtiva lagrima” by Gaetano 'L'elisir d'amore' by Donizetti or the elegiac intermezzo from 'Cavalleria rusticana' by Pietro Mascagni.
What would opera be without Giacomo Puccini?
Enjoy the view of the lake with “Nessun dorma” from Turandot and “O Mio babbino caro” from 'Gianni Schicchi'.
In addition to the mostly Italian opera arias, you will also hear musical gems Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, such as Papageno's song from “The Magic Flute.”
I would like this concert to be in honor of my esteemed professor Edward Witsenburg on his 90th birthday. I was allowed to study with him at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and to this day he is a wonderful companion for me both musically and personally."

Departure: 4.30pm from the Port of Portese
