The Aldo Cortese Philharmonic Academy celebrates its first 50 years this year and will do so together with the entire audience on Saturday 20 July in Pont Canavese with the traditional “Concert dla Rua”, the concert of the balconies.

The flagship event of the Pontese concert season will see the philharmonic perform on the stage set up in via Marconi, traditionally called Rua, with a program that will celebrate one after the other, great successes of the past, a past made of sequins, prestigious stages and timeless sound memories.

 

Yes, because 2024 marks another great anniversary: the 70th anniversary of the birth of Italian television. It was, therefore, easy to think of the music that made its history, proposed precisely on those stages that entered our homes through a cathode ray tube and that could be collected in “La Notte della TV”.

A night illuminated by the presence of a great music star: Andrea Giuffredi.

Giuffredi, a world-famous trumpeter, played as first trumpet in the tour conducted by Ennio Morricone with the Filarmonica della Scala orchestra, he was part of the main Italian symphonic opera institutions, of the RAI Orchestra of Turin and Milan, conducted by Riccardo Muti, Zubin Metha, Seiji Ozawa. A curriculum that sees him travel the world as a soloist from Salzburg to Zhejiang, from Moscow to Sicily.

 

On Saturday 20 July, Giuffredi will play with the philharmonic unleashing all his solo skills with melodic pieces and enthralling rhythms.

 

Another guest will enrich this evening of celebrations and celebrations: Sara Terzano.

In the interval between the first and second part of the concert, he will show off his artistic skills with his harp by proposing some suites of pieces that were performed in the intervals of the most popular television programs of the 70s and 80s.

 

Conductor: Gianluigi Petrarulo

Presenters: Daniela Colombatto and Franco Basolo

 

In case of bad weather the concert will be held in the Church of San Costanzo.
