Symphony weaves a new language in 70 years of Indo-Italian relations
The sounds that reverberate when one listens to an orchestra playing is indescribable. A fusion of instruments with a long melody evoke such deep emotions, tears of joy and goosebumps that each individual wants to capture that moment forever.
India and Italy celebrated the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations with a series of cultural exchanges that encompassed music and exhibitions. The chamber orchestra Cameristi della Scala, together with laura Marzadori as the soloist formed by the musicians of the orchestra of Teatro alla Scala di Milano made their debut in the capital. It had a rich taste of three centuries of Italian musical inspiration.
Artistic influence from a few celebrated conductors of the past and present working at Teatro alla Scala contributed to the character and the shape of Cameristi’s musical phrasing blended with distinct Italian sound.
Dr Andrea Baldi, director Italian Embassy Cultural Centre shared, “The classical music is one of the greatest cultural products for export that Italy has produced with plenty of masterpieces during its glorious history. Music is known as the most transversal artistic expression among different cultures. Chamber music normally does not have a director, and has a limited number of instruments. The orchestra instead performs in theaters which includes all types of instruments and requires a direction.
“We have chosen some of the most famous themes from Opera as well as our violin virtuoso Nicolò Paganini. We have also paid attention to the 20th century by choosing a composition from Nino Rota who wrote the wonderful soundtrack for the famous movie Il Gattopardo”, said Roberto Nigro, coordinamento generale, Cameristi della Scala.
As an upcoming venture, Cameristi is developing an original project to be performed at 2018 Davos World Economic Forum.
