Uto Ughi a Castelluccio

The festival "Assisi in the World" presented its top event to be held in the Plains of Castelluccio (di Norcia, Pg) on July 8th

Article | Fri, 22/06/2012 - 00:00 | By FRANCESCO CASTELLINI

Everything is going according to script for one of the most spectacular events of 2012 edition of the festival "Assisi in the World" directed by opera singer Laura Musella began Friday, April 3 with a wonderful Easter concert broadcast by Rai Uno and held by the Orchestra Maggio Musicale Fiorentino conducted by Zubin Mehta.
Now, in front of the slope where it is drawn with the shape of Italy, and the fir trees in front of the immense plain of Castelluccio di Norcia, considered one of the seven wonders of the world, will be installed on a special stage where the concert will be held with Uto Ughi and the Rome Philharmonic Orchestra.
The program includes pieces for violin and orchestra which combine descriptive virtuosity and charm, ideal for the floral landscape of the Plain, authentic virtuoso display of nature. Ughi will perform music by Beethoven (Romance in F major), Boccherini (Symphony "The House of the Devil"), Paganini (the initial time of the Concerto No. 4), and then by Massenet, De Sarasate, Saint Saens, Castelnuovo German.
The concert will be filmed by RAI Uno that will be airing on August 4 at 10:30.
The use of location of this beauty is a feature of the festival, which last year had already seen accomplished this "miracle" of music and color. A cultural event, then, as claimed by the organizers, but also "a demonstration of how the project Homage to Umbria is intended to enhance the beauty of the natural heritage of the region."
