(9 June 2017) For the occasion of the European Music Festival, Francesca Dego (violin) and Francesca Leonardi (piano), who debuted on tour in China in August 2014, are preparing their trip to Vienna. The two promising Italian musicians – with several recordings for the prominent German label, Deutsche Grammophon which specialises in producing classical music albums – will hold a concert on Wednesday 21 June at 19:00 at the Italian Institute of Culture. They will offer a programme of musical variations with arias by Bellini, Mozart, Rossini, and other composers connected to Italy. They will also perform works of Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Schnittke, Stravinsky, and a tribute to the Italian composer, Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco who is among one of the composers who became the most connected with music for guitar. The two musicians have had many experiences abroad where they have been well received by the public and critic. They performed in the most important concert halls and prestigious chamber music seasons in Italy, the UK, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Japan, Argentina, Peru, the Middle East, and the United States.
