Structured in 14 short scenes\, the work is an ironic and refined musical play in which the composer portrays animals and characters through timbres\, rhythms\, and musical references. From the lion’s solemn march to the clucking of the hens\, from the lightness of the aquarium to the swan’s famous elegance\, each piece is characterized by brilliant and imaginative writing\, capable of evoking evocative and at times satirical atmospheres. \nThe Main Characters \nPatricia Khachkalyan Gomes A Portuguese-Armenian oboist and conductor\, she is currently a student at the Royal College of Music in London.

Barattelli” Aquila Concert Society\, continues with the great Nikolai Luganskij. The pianist is internationally renowned for his interpretations of Rachmaninoff\, Prokofiev\, Chopin\, and Debussy. He has received numerous awards for his recordings and artistic achievements. He collaborates regularly with the world’s greatest conductors and is frequently invited by leading Two years after his last performance in L’Aquila\, he presents a program featuring three works representative of the Romantic aesthetic. In 1839\, Robert Schumann and Fryderyk Chopin\, far from home and facing difficult circumstances\, composed three piano masterpieces. In Vienna\, Schumann wrote *The Vienna Carnival*\, Op. 26\, and the *Humoresque*\, Op. 20\, while Chopin completed the 24 Preludes\, Op. 28\, in Valldemossa\, Spain. The three works are composed of short\, contrasting episodes that are self-contained. The “Viennese Carnival” is a sonata in disguise—brilliant and irreverent—with a hidden reference to “La Marseillaise.” The *Humoresque*\, written in a week “between laughter and tears\,” blends irony and intimacy within a broad and ever-changing structure. Chopin’s 24 Preludes\, inspired by Bach’s model\, follow the circle of fifths but stand as independent pieces. Each prelude embodies a distinct character\, ranging from virtuosic flair to lyricism and feverish restlessness. Music born of unease\, yet destined for eternal beauty. A must-see concert event for piano enthusiasts and for the chance to hear one of the world’s greatest performers. https://barattelli.it/eventi/nikolai-lugansky-pianoforte/ \nAdmission fee:\nwww.barattelli.it URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/piano-recital-by-nikoaj-luganskij-80th-season-of-the-bonaventura-barattelli-aquila-concert-society/ LOCATION:Foyer of the “V.

The performers are violinist Lorenza Borrani\, cellist Francesco Dillon\, and pianist Martina Consonni. The program offers a fascinating journey into the heart of Viennese Classicism\, bringing together two great composers: Franz Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert. From Haydn’s works\, the program features Trio No. 44 in E-flat major\, Hob. XV:29\, Op. 86 No. 3—a luminous and refined piece that serves as a perfect example of formal balance and brilliant chamber music dialogue. Alongside this\, the famous Trio No. 39 in G major\, Hob. XV:25—known as the “Gipsy”—surprises with its rhythmic energy and its sweeping\, Hungarian-inspired finale. The second part of the program is dedicated to Schubert’s Trio No. 2 in E-flat major\, D 929\, Op. 100\, one of the absolute pinnacles of Romantic chamber music. The famous second movement\, with its melancholic and suspended theme\, has become one of the most beloved pieces in the chamber music repertoire. A musical journey spanning different eras and sensibilities\, highlighting the evolution of the piano trio between the 18th and 19th centuries. https://barattelli.it/eventi/trio-lorenza-borrani-violino-francesco-dillon-violoncello-martina-consonni-pianoforte/ \nAdmission fee:\nwww.barattelli.it URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/borrani-dillon-and-consonni-trio-80th-season-of-the-bonaventura-barattelli-aquila-concert-society/ LOCATION:Park Auditorium – Renzo Piano\, Avenue of the Gold Medals\, L'Aquila\, AQ\, 67100\, Italy CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/TRIO-15-marzo.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="%E2%80%9CB.

DESCRIPTION:The festival’s concert program faithfully reflects the richness and variety of the Conservatory’s educational and artistic activities. The program spans the centuries\, from 16th-century L’Aquila—with the rediscovery of Pasquale Tristabocca’s madrigals—to bold contemporary electroacoustic experiments\, passing through the classicism of Muzio Clementi\, the romances of Francesco Paolo Tosti\, and the 20th-century works of Casella\, Dallapiccola\, and Rota.\nThe program strikes a balance between modernity and tradition\, with offerings ranging from chamber music to jazz\, as well as tributes to the classics of Italian song and to great masters such as Ennio Morricone.The participation of ensembles such as the Conservatory String Orchestra\, I Fiati del Casella\, and I Solisti with the Casella Orchestra attests to the students’ high level of training and their active involvement in artistic production\, a fundamental pillar of the Conservatory’s mission.
