"The most
ravishingly beautiful playing we mortals can hope to hear ... "
We're
looking forward to our cooperation with Shlomo Mintz who charged us to
prepare and promote his comeback in western Europe.
There will be the release of a new CD with
the solo sonatas by Ysaye and several concert
projects, among which a program with violin concertos
which Shlomo Mintz will lead from the violin, and a duo recital
with pianist
Roberto Prosseda with sonatas by Mendelssohn and Franck.
Aside, there's Mintz' beautiful project "Violins of Hope", a
concert performed on carefully restored iolins which had been found in
concentration camps and depopulated ghettos, where they survived their
former owners.
"
Mintz blew us away with
a magnanimous onslaught of violin technique... we were left
breathless, wondering how we could ever listen to a violin in the same
way again." |

Lombardis compositions, essais
and writings are often motivated by special aspects, which reach
beyond music political, social and philosophical issues and concerns -
which he also proposes for discussion in the frame of concert-lectures.
Lombardi already composed  4 operas and
is currently working upon a quite exciting project: his 5th
opera "OFER" the
libretto of which is great based upon a novel by Man Booker-Prize
winner David
Grossmann).
Aside, he's preparing several
commissioned symphonic and chamber music compositions for German
orchestras and festivals.

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 in
1996 for Giora Feidman and the Arditti String
Quartet.
Oliveros
soundtrack is also available as independant concert adaptation: the
suites
f. clarinet and string quartett or string orchestra.
Detailed
information and material for both formulas -
the silent movie with Olivero's soundtrack and the 2 chamber music
versions
- are available
at ART
WORKs Berlin.
Another of Oliver's works gets an
increasing, but deeply sad importance in our period of worldwide wars
and struggles and is currently often performed: "Neharo't, Neharo't
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.
The shadow which brings dreams, a scenique
concert for 2 children choirs and chamber groups, is dedicated to original writings of
children who had been deported to Theresienstadt, which, surrounded by death and
despair, speak in simple words upon hope and the beauty of the creation.
2018, eigthy years
after the pogrom night of November 9, 1938, Olivero sets against
one of the darkest periods of human history the spiritual and
mental strength of the victims: a hymn to life.
