The Istituzione Sinfonica Abruzzese presents “Music That Tells a Story: Nino Rota,” a concert by the “I Suoni del Sud” Regional Orchestra, part of its 51st concert season. The evening is a tribute to the narrative power of Nino Rota’s music, which evokes timeless images and atmospheres. The program features the Concerto per Archi, the famous “Ballabili” from *The Leopard*, and the evocative *Fellini Suite*—works that trace the deep connection between music and cinema. At the podium and as soloist, Federico Mondelci—a performer of great sensitivity—guides the orchestra on a sonic journey through elegance, memory, and musical storytelling.
