Sunday, 20 July – 11:00 AM
Curated by the Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino
Selene Framarin – clarinet and bass clarinet

Metamorfosi
From ritual improvisation to the baroque Follia, which transforms into klezmer and jazz dance; from Brahms’ rarefied lark song to the vibrant rhythms of the present, performed using the body and everyday objects.
Clarinets and percussion traverse eras and forms, from silence to pulse, from the sacred to play. A sonic journey that not only narrates but transforms.

Music by Corelli, Brahms, Koshinski, Heilborn, Barbera, Framarin.

Riflessi
Between thrilling dances and gentle moments, original compositions and transcriptions of famous works, this concert interweaves baroque elegance, romantic intensity, Mozartian wit, and a surprising incursion into ragtime.
A sparkling sonic mosaic that moves through the centuries with both lightness and depth.

Music by Bach, Mozart, Fauré, Joplin.

A journey into the heart of American hard bop jazz through the distinctive sound of Hank Mobley, exploring the musical world of one of the most influential saxophonists in jazz history.

Sunday, 24 August – 11:00 AM
Curated by the Giuseppe Verdi State Conservatory of Music in Turin

Lara Gaudenzi – flute

Crossover
Flute and harp: a dialogue of sounds between tradition and modernity. A programme that spans eras and styles, from the elegance of the French Belle Époque with works by Gabriel Fauré and Camille Saint-Saëns to the passionate tango of Astor Piazzolla, and the contemporary tones of Yiruma and Conant.
The refined combination of flute and harp gives life to a kaleidoscope of emotions: from the nostalgia of Pavane to the sensuality of Oblivion, from the lyricism of Siciliana to the virtuosity of Baroque Flamenco.
A musical journey that connects European classical tradition with the evocative power of Argentine tango and modern music.
An intimate and engaging sound experience where each piece tells a different story through the perfect dialogue between two poetically expressive instruments.

Verso il Novecento
A programme exploring French and Italian music, with masterpieces by Reynaldo Hahn, Charles Gounod, and Gabriel Fauré.
The intimate and magical character of these chamber romances is enhanced by harp accompaniment, a practice already common at the time of their composition.
The concert continues with works by Francesco Paolo Tosti, vocal teacher to Queen Margherita of Savoy, in which a distinctly Italian lyricism emerges, balancing sentimentality and popular tradition.

Music by Viotti, Tosti, Gounod, Debussy, Hahn, Fauré.
