BRANDI / CHIARINI DUO:  “FORBIDDEN LYRICISM”

The Duo proposes a musical journey through twentieth-century Europe, focusing on the voice of the saxophone, symbol of lyrical expression that was denied or hindered, and giving voice to composers who experienced censorship, marginalisation or exile. The Duo, composed of Riccardo Brandi on saxophones and Giulio Chiarini on piano, was born in 2022 from the artistic collaboration and friendship consolidated during their years of study at the Conservatorio “G.B. Pergolesi” in Fermo.

Tuesday 1 July
