SUMMARY:Piano Recital by Nikoaj Luganskij - 80th Season of the "Bonaventura Barattelli" Aquila Concert Society
DESCRIPTION:The concert series featuring leading pianists from the international scene\, part of the 80th season of the “B. 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

It also supports linguistic diversity through poetic expression and offers languages and dialects at risk of extinction the opportunity to be heard within their communities.

To his surprise\, he then encounters the real Gruffalo\, who wants to eat him\, but the mouse uses his wits and his “monster” to strike fear into the Gruffalo\, causing the Gruffalo to flee in terror after seeing the predators run away from him.\nLOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL: BRIGHT STAR by Jane Campion (United Kingdom\, 2009)\nIt tells the intense and tragic love story of the last three years of life (beginning in 1818) of the English Romantic poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) and his neighbor\, the lively and headstrong Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish).

Marianna Cappi Paterson lives in Paterson\, New Jersey—a city of poets\, from William Carlos Williams to Allen Ginsberg\, now in a state of decline. A thirty-year-old bus driver\, Paterson leads a routine life alongside Laura\, a woman full of plans and enthusiasm\, and Marvin\, an English bulldog. Every day\, Paterson writes poems in a secret notebook he never parts with… The film quietly observes the triumphs and setbacks of everyday life\, as well as the poetry that emerges from every little detail.

SUMMARY:Free Flight: Am I one of you?
DESCRIPTION:A tribute to women—engaged and full of joy—who adore both the virtues and the flaws of the other half of the sky. A warm and down-to-earth ode\, woven from a mosaic of scenes inspired by Goldoni\, chosen for their modernity and\, indeed\, their “contemporaneity.” It is no coincidence that these scenes are linked by a beautiful series of pop songs from today’s collective imagination\, performed live. And in this divertissement—which combines wit and lighthearted grace—there is another departure from traditional Goldoni productions: all the characters wear masks\, in contrast to the key idea of the author’s later work\, in which he would have preferred to eliminate all masks… But thanks to these masks\, three excellent actresses portray no fewer than sixteen different characters!    \nHellequin Theater Company\, Pordenone\nDirected by Ferruccio Merisi\nArtistic Director: Manuele Morgese \n  \nTickets at https://www.cinemazeta.it/

SUMMARY:Borrani\, Dillon\, and Consonni Trio - 80th Season of the "Bonaventura Barattelli" Aquila Concert Society
DESCRIPTION:Three stars of the Italian concert scene have come together to form an extraordinary trio dedicated to performing masterpieces from the repertoire for this ensemble. 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

SUMMARY:All the Necessary Extravagances: “Everything Looks Fine from the Outside”
DESCRIPTION:By Daniele Fabbri\, with Giulia Vanni\, directed by Daniele Fabbri\n“My father taught me the leg movements of water polo players: bend your knees like a hammer and draw circles with your knees while pushing outward. It’s thanks to this movement that they can lift themselves out of the water. If I were in a pool\, I’d use it and have my hands free. But with cancer\, you’re not swimming in clear waters. At first you think things are going well—it’s just a puddle\, a minor setback: one foot in front of the other\, your incurable optimism\, and you’ll be out of it. But you find nothing solid beneath the sludge; you try to drag yourself along\, but your body won’t follow—it’s starting to let go. Oh no\, dear body! We can’t just give up like that! From the outside\, everything’s fine. Also because\, aside from the cancer\, I’m doing just fine. Maybe.” *From the Outside\, Everything’s Fine* tells a true and personal story: the relationship with the “guest” that is breast cancer\, navigating between drama and variety—\n\, a comedic narrative\, and musical theater. From diagnosis to the side effects of treatment\, through certain surreal bureaucratic processes and the taboos surrounding language related to the disease.   \nCredits \nBy Giulia Vanni and Daniele Fabbri | Starring Giulia Vanni | Illustrations | The Sando |\nStyling | Karma B In collaboration with Associazione L’albero dalle molte vite |\nProduction | Valdrada Teatro Co-production | Teatro Valmisa | With the support of Le\ncittà possibili Festival and Associazione Tdl/Teatro del Lido di Ostia \nDirector’s Notes \nThe show blends drama and humor\, depicting the journey of those living with the disease through an irreverent brand of comedy that helps break the silence. “Here’s the problem: when you’re dealing with cancer\, life becomes unbearable—not so much because of the disease itself\, but because your relationships become strained and fragile\,” revealing that the fear of the disease makes it difficult to be honest. “But it’s not because we’re bad people; it’s just that we’re scared and don’t know how to do the one thing that can help us: tell each other what it’s really like.” Her tone is ironic yet sincere as she shares hilarious anecdotes\, such as using cancer as an excuse to get out of boring evenings or the absurdity of discovering that mosquitoes don’t bite during chemo. But the message comes through loud and clear: illness can be faced with courage\, thanks in part to humor. “I’m sure that after this\nstory\, you’ll be left with only good memories and a few more tools to face it all. And if you want to cross your fingers\, now’s the time! Thank goodness it’s the left breast…” A laugh so liberating that it embraces fear and makes it lighter.       \nFor information and reservations\, call 3280527856 or 3406688091\, email\n\, or visit spaziorimediato@gmail.com\nwww.facebook.com/spaziorimediato\nwww.instagram.com/spazio_rimediato

SUMMARY:Aurum Naturæ Immersive Photography Exhibition: BLACK-AND-WHITE LANDSCAPES – BLACK&WHITE LANDSCAPES (Photographs by Marco Equizi)
DESCRIPTION:“Whatungarongaro te tangata\, toitū te whenua.” “Just as man disappears from sight\, the earth remains.” (Maori proverb) \n\nIn the recent past\, central Italy has been associated almost exclusively with devastating earthquakes that have altered the landscape of many places\, leaving villages and towns still in need of reconstruction. Nature\, however\, follows a millennia-old path; over the ages\, the landscape slowly transforms\, following the continuous and unceasing course of both tectonic movements and the seasons\, offering us primordial and unspoiled vistas that seem eternal. The very same territory that has seen human settlements rise up can\, just a few hundred meters from these homes\, hide corners of extraordinary beauty—places where there is literally no trace of human activity\, or where only an imperceptible trace remains. The highlands of Abruzzo\, the forests straddling the border between Abruzzo and Lazio\, the lakes and waterways—some accessible only via often rugged trails—represent the very origins of central Italy. These are places where some may encounter the work of their God\, while others may rediscover themselves; places where the cardinal directions lose their meaning and all human logic seems to dissolve into the emotions evoked by their contemplation. What emerges strongly is humanity’s duty to oversee the care of its surroundings\, exercising preventive protection against the destructive actions of its fellow humans; otherwise\, the price the future holds in store will be the total loss of the opportunity to experience the splendid sensations bestowed upon us by nature. Depicting these landscapes in monochrome is the true challenge of this collection: the elements stand out through the gradation of tones\, without earth\, water\, and sky dominating through color\, yet creating a powerful connection among them. The format chosen by the artist—which gives the collection its title—is the golden ratio. The viewpoints presented to the observer are those of a traveler who arrives at the location and directs his gaze—naturally horizontal—toward the spectacle before him\, in a near-perfect 144:89 aspect ratio. *Aurum Naturæ* is a series created over a six-year period\, from 2014 to 2020\, and is conceptually divided into four parts: Sky\, Form\, Water\, Vegetation; the shooting locations—though recognizable in many cases—are not indicated by the artist’s express choice. All images were taken with a full-frame Canon EOS digital camera. The exhibition layout in the Winter Garden features photographs mounted on rigid panels suspended by steel cables using the existing steel structure on the hall’s ceiling. The exhibition will be viewable from the balcony.
