Il concerto, a ingresso libero e patrocinato dal Comune, si terrà nell’Oratorio di S. Nicola

Il Natale di “Vicenza in Lirica”
domenica 9 dicembre con l’ArTime Quartet
e il soprano Rossella Vingiani

Un secondo appuntamento domenica 23 dicembre, nella chiesa dei Servi

Dono di Natale alla città da parte di “Vicenza in Lirica”, il festival che, dopo il grande successo della sua sesta edizione, è già al lavoro attorno al direttore artistico Andrea Castello, per preparare la prossima stagione che si preannuncia particolarmente ricca di eventi e novità. E non poteva che essere un dono musicale quello che il festival, con il patrocinio del Comune di Vicenza e d’intesa con l’Archivio storico Tullio Serafin, ha deciso di offrire al pubblico domenica 9 dicembre alle 17, a ingresso libero, nella splendida cornice barocca dell’Oratorio di San Nicola, nel cuore della città.
Protagonisti di questo primo appuntamento natalizio organizzato dal festival saranno l’ArTime Quartet e il soprano Rossella Vingiani, con un programma musicale che spazierà dalle musiche di Čajkovskij, Rachmaninov, Tosti e Petrillo a brani della più classica tradizione natalizia anche napoletana.
Il quartetto ArTime è composto da quattro affermate musiciste: le violiniste Sabina Bakholdina ed Erica Fassetta, la violista Alessandra Commisso e la violoncellista Elena Borgo, tutte protagoniste di percorsi artistici di alto livello, sia come soliste, sia come componenti di importanti ensemble e di orchestre rinomate. Già ospiti del concerto di apertura dell’edizione di quest’anno di Vicenza in Lirica, al Teatro Olimpico, le musiciste propongono un repertorio accattivante, che spazia dal barocco al pop-rock declinato nelle più diverse sfumature, dal classico al romantico, dal tango alla musica popolare fino alle colonne sonore, ma sempre all’insegna del rigore e dell’eleganza degli archi.
Il soprano Rossella Vingiani, 23 anni, laureata con il massimo dei voti al conservatorio “G. Martucci” di Salerno, ha già vinto diversi concorsi, tra i quali “Jacopo Napoli” e “Mercato San Severino”. Dopo aver frequentato la masterclass tenuta dal soprano Barbara Frittoli a Vicenza in Lirica, sta frequentando il biennio specialistico al conservatorio di Salerno con il maestro Susanne Bungaard.
Dopo questo primo concerto offerto alla città, Vicenza in Lirica, sempre con il patrocinio del Comune e a ingresso libero, proporrà un secondo appuntamento: “La tradizione del Natale tra musica e poesia”, domenica 23 dicembre alle 17 nella chiesa dei Servi, con protagonisti i Cantori di Santomio e Stefania Carlesso come voce recitante.

Concetto Armonico cultural association organizes the third edition of Vicenza in Lirica, an international music and singing festival: a rich program of events such as master classes on opera singing, concerts in “Palazzi” and churches, conferences and other cultural activities. During the three weeks, guest artists will give their contribution to the festival.
The project is realized with the hospitality of Gallerie d’Italia – Palazzo Leoni Montanari that grant the use of the Palazzo rooms for the master classes and other events.

The two Master Classes will take place from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the following dates:

• Master Class with contralto SARA MINGARDO on Opera Singing from 23rd to 27th June 2015.
• Master Class with soprano KATIA RICCIARELLI on Opera Singing from 30th June to 4th July 2015.

The Master Classes are intended for students who wish to perfect their vocal and interpretative abilities focusing on the choice of their repertoire.

Both Master Classes are accompanied on the piano.

Some of the students attending the Master Classes will be chosen for:

• a concert during the 61st Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago;
• Christmas Concert in Wien with the patronage of the Italian Embassy;
• Christmas Concert in Rome at the “Chiesa degli Artisti”;
• Christmas Concert in Vicenza at Santuario di Monte Berico.

The association’s aim is to offer students opportunities to perform in concerts where they can be heard by agents, artistic directors or musical institutions. Experiences in front of a public, confrontation with other singers and advanced studies offered by a Master Class with a well-known teacher are basic elements for a professional development of any artist.
