GIUSEPPE GIBBONI AND STEFANIA REDAELLI

The Accademia Chigiana presents a new concert for the “Roll Over Beethoven” cycle, the winning project of the SIAE “Per chi Crea” grant in 2019, which involves young musicians in the interpretation of the works of Ludwig van Beethoven on the occasion of the celebrations of the 250th anniversary anniversary of his birth. The concert features the young violinist Giuseppe Gibboni, a student of Salvatore Accardo at Chigiana, and the pianist Stefania Redaelli, in a program that pays homage to the music of the German composer, in particular with the Sonatas for Violin and Piano op.12 n. 1 and op.24 n. 5 called “La Primavera”. At the center of the program is the intense composition for solo violin “A Paganini” by Alfred Schnittke, one of the main Russian authors of the twentieth century, performed in the eighteenth-century anti-chapel of the Palazzo Chigi Saracini, dedicated to Santa Cecilia, patron saint of music, the work of architect Arturo Viligiardi.
