Al via Como Contemporary Festival 2021

Como Contemporary Festival 2021 vuole essere anzitutto un momento d’incontro, di ritrovo, in cui la musica contemporanea si intreccia e si contamina con altre arti, per dare vita ad un ciclo di eventi unici. Durante il Festival, mantenendo sempre in primo piano la musica d’oggi, alle composizioni musicali si affiancano altre forme di espressione artistica come la fotografia, la sound art, la fiber art e la poesia e vengono presentate opere musicali composte per l’occasione ed eseguite in prima assoluta.

La seconda edizione del festival si rinnova per quanto concerne location e partnership e vedrà la partecipazione di artisti di chiara fama. Primo fra tutti Sandro Laffranchini, primo violoncello del Teatro alla Scala, che si esibirà nel concerto d’apertura presso il Salone di Villa Olmo a Como. Ci sarà Stefano Cerrato, virtuoso violoncellista italiano e interprete di fama internazionale, il quale si esibirà da solista insieme con il suo On the Bridge Cello Ensemble, ensemble di 12 violoncellisti che affronterà un repertorio focalizzato su musiche del ventesimo e ventunesimo secolo, anche in prima assoluta. Avremo ospiti il raffinato violinista scaligero Fulvio Liviabella in duo con Federica Sainaghi all’arpa, che si cimenteranno in un programma con brani di varie epoche ed in prima assoluta e vedremo inoltre la partecipazione di Alessandro Perini and Sofia Avramidou, che saranno impegnati in un dibattito/conferenza sullo sviluppo della musica contemporanea e delle tecnologie (live electronics e sound art), e della contaminazione della musica con altre forme d’arte.

Tra le partnership di quest’anno avremo il piacere di collaborare con la Fondazione Bortolaso-Totaro-Sponga, curatrice della mostra Methamorphosis presso Villa Olmo a Como, l’associazione Arte&Arte ideatrice della XXX Mostra Internazionale di Arte Contemporanea MINIARTEXTIL, e il Museo della Seta, dove verrà allestita una mostra fotografica dello straordinario artista Marco Frigerio.
