For Prosseda, Mendelssohn and Mozart will be again in the focus of his concerts and recordings in 2019.

The first mark will be set in January by Mozart, when DECCA will release the last album with his complete recordings of all piano sonatas, waited for with curiosity by his fans.

Mendelssohn will then be present throughout the whole year with several new CDs, recitals and concerts.
Prosseda had completed in October 2018 his Mendelssohn recordings series by the release of Mendelssohn's 1st+2nd piano concerti (recorded with Dutch Residentie Orkest/de Vriend and available at Amazon.com and via spotify, Deezer,Tidal, Apple Music)) 2 more CDs presenting the Double concerto (with Shlomo Mintz) and the Concerti for 2 pianos (with A. Ammara) will follow in late 2019.

Thus, together with his recording of the 3rd concerto (based on the completed fragment and done with the Gewandhaus- orchester Leipzig), all major Mendelssohn piano concertos interpreted by Prosseda will then be available.

Complementarily, a recording the concert for piano and strings in A Minor is planned to follow later on.

Concerning Chamber Music, Prosseda's Mendelssohn canon, brilliantly based on his complete recordings of the works for solo piano, will get new spectacular facets by the release of an album with the sonatas f. violin and piano, recently recorded with Shlomo Mintz.

2019 will be marked by the world premier of a new composition upon a biblique theme (working title "Sarah & Hagar) performed by the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker in the frame of  the Schumann-Fest 2019 in May.

Furthermore, several commissions for new compositions are in discussion, among them interesting projects for the Beethoven year 2020, an European theme and probably a text by late
Nobel price winner Günter Grass.

Aside, Lombardi is going to return to his work upon a new opera project  "OFER", the libretto of which is based upon a novel by Man Booker-Prize winner David Grossmann.

In our period of worldwide wars and struggles, Olivero's "Neharo't, Neharo't gets an increasing, but deeply sad importance and is currently often performed: 
With women in mourning, mothers, widows and sisters who had lost their loved ones, live recorded and woven into the composed music, Olivero gives the suffering of the victims in the battle zones of the world a moving voice.

Another of her compositions, The shadow which brings dreams, is dedicated to original writings of children who had been deported to Theresienstadt, is meant to be a message of  hope, since the children, even though surrounded by death and despair, speak in simple words upon hope and the beauty of the creation.

Among the many works she composed for great international orchestras and chamber music ensembles, there's the successful original soundtrack for the German silent movie "Der Golem" commissioned by ART WORKs Berlin for Giora Feidman and the Arditti String Quartet. After it's successful world premier in 1996, the music went around the world, accompanying the silent movie or as chamber music version for string orchestra: suites f. clarinet and string quartett or string orchestra.
