The programming of Spazio Berlendis, a venue inaugurated last June that serves as a cultural meeting place and discussion point for the city, continues on 10 December with the second event of Bach Friday, the musical project born from an idea of the members of the BACHaro Tour association, in which the protagonist is the music of J.S. Bach in dialogue with that of other composers from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The format is the one tested in four years of activity of the association BACHaro Tour, in which there are live performances by the cellist Federico Toffano and the violinist Alessandro Cappelletto, with short guided listening by Mauro Masiero, music historian. The other meetings, always on Fridays from 7.30 to 8.15 p.m. at Spazio Berlendis, will be on 14 January and 4 February 2022.
In the first Bach Friday event, cellist Federico Toffano played pieces by Domenico Gabrielli and Johann Sebastian Bach, in dialogue with music historian Mauro Masiero.
In the concert on Friday 10 December “BACH vs. DALL’ABACO” another very important figure in the world of cello music will be discovered: Joseph Marie Clement Ferdinand dall’Abaco (1710 Brussels – 1805 Valpolicella). He was a Belgian-Italian cellist and composer who wrote 29 sonatas for cello and some caprices for cello. The musical programme of the second Bach Friday will focus on the latter, juxtaposing them with J.S. Bach’s Fourth Suite.
