 On January 25th, ‘Rond’, an annual season of contemporary music, began at the Theatre Franco Parenti in Milan. This festival has become an important part of the cultural highlights of the Lombardy.‘Rond 2010’ offers eight concerts featuring contemporary music, with the opening concert presenting theatrical music – a monograph, dedicated by Sandro Gorli (‘Rond 2010’ Artistic Director) to Mauricio Kagel, one of the great interpreters of contemporary music, who died in 2008. The program was a sort of comedy of the absurd, in which the author's eclectic musical theatre was combined with the vein of a variety show. Included were ‘Episoden’ and ‘Figuren’, (solo works) written by Kagel in 1993, performed by accordionist Rojac Corrado, of Trieste. Rojac Corrado is now one of the most popular Italian contemporary accordionists. Since 2008 he is an Accordion Professor at the Conservatory Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste. The mimic Bustric together with the Divertimento Ensemble, a chamber group from Milan, directed by Dario Garegnani, enchanted the audience with diverse characters, from a cleaner, to a fire-eater, juggler, and dog trainer. The season will last until June, offering a broad spectrum of contemporary music. The public of Milan will have the opportunity to hear the Ensemble Kuraia, from Bilbao, with the best of new Spanish music, but the absolute highlight of ‘Rondò 2010’ will be the evening of May 26th, when the new compositions of the young composers competition will be presented. Closing event of the season “notes for friendship” will be on June 7th– both events are dedicated to Franco Donatoni (a Milan composer who died 10 years ago) |
