21 and 22 April, 9 pm THE MOST WILD THIRST, THE MOST WILD HUNGER musical monologue on the Resistance The show is a "choral monologue". Roberto Mercadin i, alone on stage, evokes a glowing multitude of characters and stories. Flashes tragic or hilarious, heroic or ridiculous, tender or merciless. The incredible story of the drunkard from Roversano or the poignant story of the unnamed German. Because the Resistance and what followed, the origin and foundation of our Republic, was a dizzying tangle of different and often extreme things. Thus the eyes see the purest light, the darkest darkness. The title mentions Fr Celan, a deported Jewish poet, but also recalls the Gospel of Matthew: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice”. Here, the partisans had, perhaps, "the wildest hunger, the wildest thirst". by and with Roberto Mercadini and with Guido Sodo guitars and vocals Carlo Loiodice accordion Roberto Bartoli contrabass Ticket 20 € (full), 15 € (reduced) Buy tickets Roberto Mercadini Guido Sodo Carlo Loiodice Roberto Bartoli ROBERTO MERCADINI Born in Cesena in 1978.

ANDREA BIASCO video and lighting technician ​ I was born in Casarano (LE) on April 6, 1991, and I lived there until the age of 19. After graduating from the Casarano linguistic high school with excellent marks, in 2010 I moved to Bologna to attend the faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures. Here, thanks to a training internship at the end of the course, I came into contact with the Persephone Cultural Association, with which I first carried out the translation of technical data sheets and room programs, and later on the technical and organizational tasks. In 2015, at the end of the aforementioned internship, I began to actively collaborate with this association covering, in particular, the role of lighting technician. or therefore had the opportunity to work on all the activities that involved the Teatro del Baraccano and its staff. From musical theater to prose, passing through the technical collaboration with the contemporary dance festival "Gender Bender" which takes place every year in Bologna. ​ In 2019 I attended a higher education course, organized by the Emilia Romagna region, on eco-sustainable audio-visual production: '' Green Movies Project Manager: promoting eco-sustainable audio-visual production ''; at the end of which I undertook a training internship at Ravenna Teatro, in Ravenna, in which I worked on the production and distribution of the film '' The Sky over Kibera '' by director Marco Martinelli. Thanks to my experience gained over the years in this sector, I have developed excellent communication skills, understanding and diplomacy. To which are added flexibility and adaptability to new work contexts. Working in the entertainment world allowed me, therefore, to learn how to manage the time at my disposal, meet deadlines, work in a team and under pressure. ​ ​

8 August, 9.30 pm | Courtyard of the Baraccano Theater in case of rain 9 August BOTTICELLIANO TRIPTYCH narration through images and music: Respighi and Botticelli A show that brings to the stage the music composed by Ottorino Respighi and the three paintings by Sandro Botticelli that were the inspiration (the Spring , the Birth of Venus , the Adoration of the Magi ), told and interpreted by a professional of historical and artistic dissemination . The spirit of the paintings will be revealed to us, translated into music and words, through an exciting sound dance that evokes images and rhythms linked to the natural world, sometimes idyllic, rural or wooded, elsewhere open to more contemplative views, or even "moved" and swaying like the sea in the Birth of Venus . A thrilling crescendo full of suggestions that involve all the senses: sight, hearing, mind, but above all the soul. ​ ​ Max Martelli Trittico botticelliano Max Martelli art historian ​ sound interventions by Alice Caradente and Alessandra Ziveri , harps ​ Single ticket € 10 Buy tickets

2 December, 9 pm NYANGA Harp & Hang duo The word Nyanga means Moon in Xhosa language (South-Africa) It evokes a part of the Universe hidden from the senses. In the shadow of the night, the Moon, daughter of the Earth, weaves magnetic relationships with living beings. The timbral interweaving between the harp and the hang creates a combination of chiaroscuro sounds; it tells of Celtic, Mediterranean and tribal lands, of futuristic scenarios and dreamlike tales. The rhythmic and incisive pulsation marks the time leaving room for a melodic and emotional poetry. The instruments dialogue in a variety of harmonic sounds and create a fertile ground for meditative, relaxing and creative states. Harp & Hang DUO, founded by the two artists Marianne Gubri and Paolo Borghi, offers an unprecedented combination of suggestive sounds between the harp, a classic instrument with a long history musical and the hang, a very modern percussion of Swiss origin. The original compositions of the duo Harp & Hang find their inspiration in the repertoire of ancient, Celtic, tribal and ethnic music, but also in the minimalist and modern style. They have played all over Italy, in France, Brazil, Dubai and the United States. In 2018 they will again be guests of the Wonder Festival in the United States and Ireland.

Il programma proposto questa sera è frutto di scelte che hanno a che fare con vari momenti della mia vita personale, momenti che hanno generato curiosità profonde legate agli stati d’animo che ciascuno dei brani mi sembra esplorare. L’apertura della serata, con la sonata di Brahms, offre lo spazio giusto per cercare nel dialogo col violino un momento di speranza e freschezza. La delicatezza delle melodie, la scrittura cameristica equilibrata e il territorio tonale del brano mi sembrano una continuazione organica del lascito beethoveniano. Come spesso accade coi grandi compositori romantici tedeschi, consciamente o inconsciamente iniziano dal punto estremo lasciato da Beethoven in ogni genere. Questo è accaduto con le sinfonie, i quartetti, le sonate e in questo caso le sonate per violino e pianoforte. ​ La prima sonata di Brahms mi sembra scritta sulla scia dell’ultima sonata per violino di Beethoven, anche questa in sol maggiore. Se nelle grandi sonate che ho avuto modo di suonare con Mayumi (Kreutzer, Frank, Strauss) i due strumenti sono spesso in una posizione di grandiosa ed epica lotta, Brahms in questo brano mette in luce diverse possibilità di dialogo, creando un’interazione più intima e dai toni più calmi. Intimità che lega il brano anche ai gioielli nascosti di Schumann, gli Albumblätter, dove in poche battute si dipingono con grande poesia stati d’animo contrastanti e profondamente umani. I Pezzi di fantasia op.12 sono brani che ho imparato al mio ritorno da un viaggio in India lo scorso anno. Posso sinceramente confermare che lo stereotipo del viaggio spirituale in India che cambia la vita è fortemente giustificato. Ricordo ancora il senso di meraviglia che ho provato quando dopo quasi un mese di silenzio dalla Musica, ho suonato le prime note di Des Abends al mio rientro a Berlino. Non scorderò mai quel momento di meraviglia e incredulità, il suono del pianoforte mi sembrava essere troppo bello per essere vero ed è quella stessa sensazione che vorrei regalare al pubblico. Gli altri brani dell’opera 12 sono momenti di grande instabilità emotiva, che oscillano tra il sogno, la disperazione, gli slanci, le passioni tipiche di Schumann, squilibri in cui si riflette molto la mia natura, con improvvisi squarci su mondi estremamente lontani... gli stessi mondi metafisici di cui a volte, per pochi millesimi di secondi, mi è sembrato di percepire l’odore in India. La parentesi su Ligeti è una transizione sul Novecento e un omaggio ad un compositore, nel centenario dalla nascita, che è già diventato un classico. La Musica Ricercata sembra una risposta divertita alla dodecafonia, dove il criterio compositivo (ogni brano costruito su una, due, tre, quattro etc. note) diventa motivo di sperimentazione pura. Il concerto, o almeno il programma stabilito, si conclude con la festosa Venezia e Napoli di Liszt, compositore e uomo che considero tra i più interessanti nel mondo musicale. Frutto di viaggi e "pellegrinaggi" in giro per l’Europa, raccoglie le canzoni popolari del tempo a Venezia (La biondina in gondoleta, nel dialetto veneto) e Napoli (Tarantella e Fenesta vascia, canzone d’amore napoletana) trasformandole in uno spettacolo per le orecchie di altissima classe pianistica. Anche questo brano ha tanto valore personale, studiarlo è stato un consiglio del mio mentore S. Gadjiev: egli mi ha spinto a cercare attraverso Venezia e Napoli una riconnessione alle mie origini siciliane dopo anni (16, la metà della mia vita tra pochi giorni, il 27 agosto) di peregrinaggi nel mondo, odissee necessarie per studiare e apprendere da tante culture diverse. La Musica è sempre stata per me un modo di comunicare le verità dell’anima. Non sempre ci si riesce, ma questa meta all’orizzonte è sempre rimasta ben visibile e qualche volta sembra quasi di raggiungerla.

In this musical version, Maestro Giocoli decided to combine the intricate story of Rosina , told by the unpublished drawings of the Japanese mangaka Tsukishiro Yūko. Two apparently distant languages, united however by the story and the expressiveness. The opera plunges into the contemporaneity of Japanese comics, the immediacy of the visual art is intertwined with the sound, giving back a new and original version of the work that can also speak to a young and contemporary audience. The new arrangements that ATTI SONORI has produced for chamber orchestra have given life to a new score for 10 real parts , in which the work is stripped of the recitative parts and stages only the music, while the comics are projected onto a backdrop. scenographic and tell the story through the suggestion of the images.

March 11, matinee hours 11 - POSTPONED NEW DATE 4 June 11 am in collaboration with MIA - Musica Insieme in Ateneo e Cultural Association Lucerne THE CITIES OF MUSIC The project intends to enhance the link between the cities of Bologna, Prague and Brno, through the figure of the composer Josef Mysliveček , known in Italy as “The Divine Bohemian”. Mysliveček, born in Prague , had a very close relationship with Italy, in particular with Bologna , where he studied, like Mozart and in the same years, at the Royal Philharmonic Academy. After an intense career in Italian theaters, he ended his life in Rome , where he rests in the Basilica of San Lorenzo. By Mysliveček will be performed his octet for winds (transcribed for the occasion for Decimino of strings and winds). Coming to the authors of the 20th century, Mládí is proposed, a composition for chamber orchestra by Leoš Janáček , who wrote this masterpiece recalling the years of his youth in Brno, where he lived part of his life and where he founded important musical institutions. Finally, the sumptuous Nonetto by Bohuslav Martinû , a composer who was musically trained in Prague. He was among the artists forced to emigrate to France and then to America due to the war. ​ The concert will also be repeated at 20.30 at the DAMSLab, within the MIA season - Musica Insieme in Ateneo - XXIII edition ORCHESTRA DEL BARACCANO director Giambattista Giocoli ​ violin Roberto Noferini , viola Costanza Pepini cello Catherine Bruni flute and piccolo Filippo Mazzoli , oboe Anna Leonardi Stefano Franceschini clarinet, Mirco Ghirardini bass clarinet horn Danilo Marchello , bassoon Luca Reverberi double bass Michele Gallo ​

In 1917 Respighi created the First Suite , in 1923 the Second Suite , in 1931 the Third Suite . His wife Elsa collected and rearranged them all in 1937. In our original arrangement the eight real parts that make up the ensemble try to reproduce all the orchestral colors conceived by Respighi, with the aim of creating a fascinating synthesis between ensuring the presence of fundamental instruments for Respighi, such as the harp and the harpsichord, and the search for a new and modern sound with the inclusion of accordion and bass tuba. ​ ​ 1/3 ORCHESTRA DEL BARACCANO director Giambattista Giocoli violin Gabriele Bellu | flute Filippo Mazzoli bassoon Luca Reverberi | trumpet Fabio Codeluppi harp Alice Caradente | accordion Alexey Manyak harpsichord Maria Luisa Baldassari | bass tuba Gianluigi Paganelli arrangements by Fabio Codeluppi , Giambattista Giocoli and Filippo Mazzoli ​ ​
