The first orchestra of Ruben Xhaferi, an eleven-year-old prodigy
Three competitions, three first prizes. In his brief life as a pianist, eleven-year-old Ruben Xhaferi has yet to encounter obstacles. And this evening, with the lightness of pure talent, he faces for the first time a performance with orchestra. It takes place at 9:15 p.m. at the Oratorio di San Rocco (Via Calari 4/2) during the Circolo della Musica season.
Alongside this Italian-Albanian prodigy, a student of Sandro Baldi, will be the Orchestra dei Musici dell’Accademia conducted by Luigi Verdi. On the programme is Haydn’s Concerto in D major, followed by the very rare Poetic Pieces and Impressions by Antonio Ricci Signorini (1867–1965), a neglected composer from Massa Lombarda and one of the few, in an era still dominated by melodrama, to devote himself to symphonic and piano music. The Circolo commemorates him on the 150th anniversary of his birth.
Oratorio di S. Rocco, 9:15 p.m.: Ruben Xhaferi performs Haydn and Ricci Signorini with the Orchestra dei Musici.
