Maria Grazia Bellocchio: Il Nuovo, L'Antico, L'Altrove at Bologna Festival
Bologna, Oratorio San Filippo Neri — Main Hall
About the Event
Maria Grazia Bellocchio's laboratory of ideas is continuously evolving, with 'A journey in Italy' and 'Aphorisms' preceding a focus on Kurtág's Játékok and now 'Forms in time' explores echoes, mirrors, and resonances within keyboard music history. The concert structure presents distinct three‐voice conversations between piano solo pieces by Alessandro Solbiati and Fabio Nieder, and harpsichord compositions by 18th‐century masters Rameau and Scarlatti. Faint echoes of Ligeti's caprices can be heard in the background, adding another layer to the musical dialogue.
