Synopsis

The successful midday concert series, which last year consistently sold out, is back. For three weeks, around the great titles of the playbill, from Ariadne auf Naxos to Orpheus to Baubò , eight chamber music events at the Auditorium della Stella and the Church of St. Agatha guide audiences to discover the relationship between myth and music, with that attraction that has accompanied the latter throughout its history, between the search for models and their overcoming.

As per tradition, two appointments are entrusted to the musicians of the Budapest Festival Orchestra in residence. The review continues with the presence in Spoleto of one of the most interesting ensembles of our time: the American JACK Quartet is a special guest with its four young musicians known throughout the world as the most innovative interpreters of contemporary music.

Raffaele Pe, who has already starred in the title role of Gluck'sOpera Orpheus and Eurydice at the Teatro Nuovo, also makes an appearance in the concert of his ensemble La Lira di Orfeo, a collective of musicians, artists and researchers with whom he is revolutionizing the way Baroque music is performed, offering a repertoire that is being continually rediscovered.

Great return for the musicians of the Orchestra from Camera di Perugia, an absolute excellence in the area, who in the following concerts perform programs with original and always innovative combinations.

Mythologies.

A play of subtle correspondences runs through from always myth and music, making these two very powerful "metalanguages of our civilization" related.

The former draws from the latter a range of sound suggestions and a wide corollary of instruments; the latter draws exemplary narrative content and an infinite baggage of symbols, from being able to adapt (or demystify) to as they please along the chronological axis, to depending on the needs. How to read a myth in the most correct way? Certainly not from left to right, simply. Rather by proceeding vertically, as it were from top to bottom. Just as one would do with any musical score, "knowing that it is necessary to grasp the meaning of the whole page."

Each time altered and different, yet each time recognizable, myth likes to inhabit amphibious, and elusive places: it announces truth by producing (artistic) fictions. Mythological worlds then seem to have been constructed only to be broken down again: new worlds can thus be built to starting from these fragments. To grasp their deeper meaning, it is necessary to turn one's critical gaze upside down ... and to keep ourselves listening.

This small concert review tries to do so with a question: are these myths eternal and must we come to terms with them, or can they be recharged with ever new meanings?
