Venice, Teatro La Fenice

Music from the Archives of the Giorgio Cini Foundation Institute of Music

A Concert Series in Memory of Giovanni Morelli

19, 24, 26, 28 July 2013, Teatro La Fenice, Venice

in collaboration with the Giorgio Cini Foundation

These concerts are part of a number of initiatives organised by the Giorgio Cini Foundation Institute of Music to commemorate Giovanni Morelli. The series is a way of putting to good use the heritage of bequests of 20th-century composers kept in the Foundation archives.

The musicians in the four concerts will perform music from the historical archives of Alfredo Casella, Gino Gorini, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Nino Rota, as well as the recently acquired Giacomo Manzoni Archive. The second concert is also intended to mark the centenary year of the birth of the great Polish composer Witold Lutosławski.
