Church of San Nicola, Paganico Sabino (RI)
The Talenti d’Arte String Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Emanuele Stracchi, will be welcomed in the village of Paganico Sabino for a concert that brings together classical tradition, new compositions, and iconic film music. The program opens with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, one of the most beloved serenades in the repertoire. The ensemble will then perform Christmas Festival, arranged for strings, followed by Adagio sopra un canto gregoriano for solo cello and strings, composed by Stracchi himself and presented here in its world premiere.
The second part of the concert is dedicated to film music, featuring works by Ennio Morricone from Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion and Once Upon a Time in America, Nino Rota’s Film Suite, and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. All pieces are presented in arrangements for string orchestra by Maestro Stracchi.
