Praia Classical Music Concerts Summer 2010

I have mentioned this in another thread but here's a more detailed website for the upcoming Classical concerts at Praia this summer.


XXXIII Stagione Concertistica "Incotro col Pianoforte" - Praia a Mare 2010

[Dermot Brophy]

Thanks for that, Leslie - we'll miss the trio, but we'll be there for some of the others.

May get a chance to have a chat when we get back to San Nicola.

Dermot,
It would be good to catch up when you are back - give me a nod when you are here 8-)

Oh thanks Lesley.
I arrive on 17th, so not sure if I could do that nights, but I'm around for 3 others... maybe we could go together?

[Dermot Brophy]

Anyone interested,

As you probably know, there is an error in the dates of the two next concerts on that website. I rang the Centro Attivita Musicale, just to confirm my assumptions - the Chopin piano recital is SATURDAY 17th, and the baritone recital is WEDNESDAY 21st.

Might see some familiar faces at one of them - though, mind you, most of us don't really know what the others look like! - we'll just listen out for the accents - as mine is Irish, I'll probably be caught first.

Incidently, to save a bit of trouble, does anyone know the exact location of the venue?

We went along last night - found the place, thanks to Nora's sharp sign-spotting in the dark!

The pianist was superb. Chopin is not my favourite by any means, but this young man went to town on both the interpretive and virtuosic sides of the music. Over-all most enjoyable.

The venue, by the way is lovely - rather small, so get there early if you want to sit down. The recitals take place in the space which is also used as an art gallery - some interesting contemporary stuff on view.

The message is - if you're into classical music Wednesday night at 21.30 would be worth your while.

Thanks, again, Leslie for going to the trouble to find this.
