A bewitching concert-story about a little girl who loves to sing, who moves to a town where music is forbidden: a town named Hamelin, about thirty years after the infamous Pied Piper has led all of Hamelin's children away. Hannah breaks this musical silence with the help of a gossipy rat and her own passion for grand music.

La magica chitarra di Roberto Gentile sabato in concerto
di Francesca Dighera
L'Associazione Concertistica Castellamonte, in collaborazione con l'Associazione Filarmonica Castellamonte e l'Assessorato alla Cultura del Comune di Castellamonte, presenta sabato 27, alle 21, il primo "Concerto di Primavera 2010" alla Casa della Musica. Si tratta di un concerto di chitarra (5 preludi del 1940 e 12 studi del 1929 di H.Villa Lobos) del professor Roberto Gentile.

Originario di Chivasso, Gentile ha cominciato lo studio della musica e della chitarra classica sotto la guida del padre. Ha poi proseguito gli studi con il Maestro Vittorio Aprato, laureandosi a pieni voti al Consevatorio "G.F.Ghedini" di Cuneo.

Successivamente si e' perfezionato con i Maestri Ghiglia, Laura, Hoppstock e Aprato, cimentandosi in concerti da solista e in formazioni cameristiche. Negli ultimi anni ha approfondito la conoscenza e la prassi esecutiva delle opere di Bach e H.Villa-Lobos tenendone concerti monografici.

Ha inoltre vinto diversi premi in Concorsi Nazionali ed Internazionali e dal 2002 ricopre la cattedra di chitarra presso l'Accademia Musicale "Francesco Romana" di Castellamonte.

L'ingresso al concerto di sabato è gratuito.
