Nov. 19 – ” Nothing is known, everything is imagined” said Federico Fellini to represent his vision of life and cinema. His work continues to enrich our imagination, in Italy and abroad. 20 years after his death, 40 years after “Amarcord”, 50 years after “8 ½” and 60 years after the première of “I Vitelloni”, the Orchestra of Italian Cinema celebrates the master through a symphony concert media. The project, made possible thanks to the collaboration with the best young musicians in Los Angeles, explores the very close human and artistic cooperation between Fellini and Nino Rota: a unique case in the history of Italian cinema, that began in 1952 with “Lo Sceicco Bianco” and finished in 1978 with “Prove d’Orchestra.” The event has the patronage of the President of the Republic, and on November 22 at 8pm the Royce Hall of UCLA will host the Italian-American symphony orchestra. The orchestra will play over 50 items, conducted by Daniel Belardinelli, and give birth to a musical journey that traces Federico Fellini’s pure creativity through the soundtracks to his films. The program includes music by Nino Rota, such as: “I vitelloni” (1953), “La Strada” (1954), “Le notti di Cabiria” (1957), “La Dolce Vita” (1960), “8 ½” (1963), “I clown” (1970), “Roma” (1972), “Amarcord” (1973), “Il Casanova” (1976), “Prova d’orchestra” (1979) e di Nicola Piovani quali “Ginger e Fred” (1985) e “La voce della luna” (1990).
