Bruno Canino, piano | Concert & Master Class | Session I
-
InterHarmony International Music Festival’s 2017 summer season is starting soon, and that can mean only one thing: the return of IIMF’s wildly successful Outstanding Guest Artist series. The series takes off on July 6th, 2017 in IIMF’s new location, Acqui Terme, Italy, where celebrated Italian pianist Bruno Canino will join director Misha Quint for a grand opening concert. Quint and Canino will perform a selection of the greatest works for cello and piano: Beethoven’s foundational Cello Sonata No. 3, Schubert’s heart-breaking Arpeggione, Stravinsky’s neo-classical masterpiece, the Suite Italienne, and Tchaikovsky’s final work for cello: the Pezzo capriccioso. Canino will continue on July 9 with a concert of trios with violinist Shlomo Mintz and cellist Misha Quint, with works by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff.
Canino is one of the leading lights in Italian classical music today, and has performed with such renowned artists such as Itzhak Perlman, Lynn Harrell, Viktoria Mullova and Pierre Boulez. His position in the world of contemporary music is unmatched and the list of composers who have dedicated works to him is a veritable who's who of 20th century music, from Luciano Berio and Mauricio Kagel to Wolfgang Rihm and Iannis Xenakis.
