(September 29th, 2017) Two talented Italian young women that have previously recorded with prestigious labels such as Deutsche Grammophon, envisioned a programme that includes instrumental variations of arias from the works of Donizetti, Rossini and other Italian composers. The performance by Francesca Dego (violin) and Francesca Leonardi (piano) will be held at the Italian Institute of Culture of Hamburg on Wednesday, October 4th until the 19th. These are two of the best artists on the international music scene. Francesco Dego’s critically acclaimed album for Deutsche Grammophon was released in 2012 featuring Niccolò Pagaini’s 24 caprices. Francesca Leonardi is an exceptional pianist who combines pure and fascinating musicality with impeccable technique. Organised in collaboration with CIDIM (Italian National Music Committee), the concert was funded by “Siae – From who creates” in the context of Suono Italiano supported by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism – Live Entertainment Department.
