Il varo del Komos si terrà la sera del 15 marzo al Cassero! Il programma inaugurale, che intende mostrare l'ampio ventaglio dei nostri interessi e delle nostre possibilità, va dal Medioevo (il primo canone della storia) al Rinascimento di Gastoldi, Orazio Vecchi (modenese come il direttore) e Adriano Banchieri (bolognese come il coro). Nonché Monteverdi, to back the ineffable Lamento della Ninfa with the soprano Tiziana Tramonti and elegant piano improvisations Mario Sollazzo. Then a song by Mendelssohn (who turn 200 years old this year), the chorus of pilgrims from Tannhäuser by Wagner (another homage to Bologna, which until recently boasted the title of Wagner's city of Italy) . Then two popular French songs by Poulenc and the delicate sensibilities of Love Alone Ned Rorem (1988) on a beautiful poem by Paul Monette dedicated to her fiance Roger Horwitz, who died of AIDS. And some other surprises. Guest of honor baritone Alfonso Antoniozzi, which had a free hand in choosing what who wants to run.
For those who want to read, this is the magazine Cassero Magazine, January / February 2009. Among the interviews, Franca Valeri and Paul V. Montanari (p. 28)! (Takes a little 'fast to download, PDF):

For future interviews (both incoming journals and sites "theme" that the press "generalist") we finally have some good photos taken by our priceless (and unpaid) Toto Pagano (nomen omen). If you do the public good here too.
