NATIONAL PREMIERE

Florence Trevelyan Public Gardens (via Bagnoli Croci), Saturday 22nd July 2023 @ 9.30pm

A prose show by Fondazione Taormina Arte

The action takes place in December 1223, when St. Francis, after asking Pope Honorius III for permission, creates a representation of the nativity of Jesus which he names “praesepe”. Praesepe, in latin, indicates the space enclosed by hedges, is located the manger in which Jesus was laid.

In the text of the show, Francis’ words are mixed with those of Pope Francis. Both are supporters of interreligious dialogue to underline the message that: “peace is not an idyllic poetic sentiment, it is resisting evil, love for one’s neighbour, knowing how to forgive. War is never necessary or inevitable. An alternative can always be found: it is the way of dialogue, of encounter and of the sincere search for truth”.

Text and Direction: Leonardo Petrillo
With: Luca Lazzareschi, Rocco Ciarmoli, Antonio Coppola, Bruno Governale, Matteo Montaperto, Gianfranco Teodoro

TICKETS on boxol @ € 15,00 (Under 26 and Over 65: € 10,00) or on site from 7.30 pm on.

Pinchas Zukerman Trio

Ancient Theatre, Wednesday 12th July 2022 @9.30pm

A trio made by Pinchas Zuckerman, Amanda Forsyth and Shai Wosner.

Pinchas Zukerman is an Israeli-American violinist, violist and conductor, a prodigious talent recognized worldwide for his artistry. With a celebrated career encompassing five decades, Pinchas Zukerman reigns as one of today’s most sought after and versatile musicians – violin and viola soloist, conductor, and chamber musician. He is renowned as a virtuoso, admired for the expressive lyricism of his playing, singular beauty of tone, and impeccable musicianship, which can be heard throughout his discography of over 100 albums for which he gained two Grammy® awards and 21 nominations.

Canadian Juno Award-winning Amanda Forsyth is considered one of North America’s most dynamic cellists. Her intense richness of tone, remarkable technique and exceptional musicality combine to enthrall audiences and critics alike

Pianist Shai Wosner began performing with Zukerman and Forsyth in early 2020 and has attracted international recognition for his exceptional artistry, musical integrity, and creative insight. His performances of a broad range of repertoire—from Beethoven and Schubert to Ligeti and the music of today—reflect a degree of virtuosity and intellectual curiosity that has made him a favorite among audiences and critics, who note his “keen musical mind and deep musical soul” (NPR’s All Things Considered).

The Zukerman Trio debuted in 2011. Since then, the ensemble has traveled around the globe to appear in Japan, China, Australia, Spain, Italy, France, Hungary, South Africa, Istanbul and Russia. The Trio has appeared at major North American festivals, including Ravinia, Tanglewood, Aspen, Bravo! Vail and Banff and European festivals in Edinburgh, Verbier and Schleswig Holstein.
