IL CIELO È PIENO DI STELLE (jazz tribute to Pino Daniele)
Fabrizio Bosso tromba Julian Oliver Mazzariello pianoforte

"The sky is full of stars" is a jazz tribute to Pino Daniele. Not a simple reinterpretation of the Neapolitan singer-songwriter's most beautiful and best-known songs, but rather (re)dressing an already great and very jazz music, with new and authentic colors, trying to give back an unprecedented portrait of Pino Daniele and making his extraordinary melodies resonate, including "Napule è",  "Je so' pazzo", "Quanno chiove", "Quando", "Allora sì" and "Sicily" written for the legendary Chick Corea with the timbre and poetry of two talented protagonists of contemporary jazz.

In collaboration with Musique Royale

Wednesday, May 7, 9 p.m. - Church of St. Mauritius
MOZART PARADOX piano improvisations on light and darkness

PIERINO E IL LUPO a musical fairy tale by Sergej Prokofev
Nicoletta Tiberini acting voice Orchestra Canova directed by Enrico Pagano

Four replicas for a cross-cultural proposal suitable for spectators of all ages: "Peter and the Wolf," probably the world's most famous musical fairy tale (by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev), will be performed by the Canova Orchestra conducted by Enrico Pagano.
Pierino, the Cat, the Little Bird, the Duck, the Grandfather, the Hunters and the Wolf: each character is represented by a different musical instrument, and Nicoletta Tiberini's reciting voice will allow the audience to follow in detail what is happening musically, artfully combining sounds and images. A classic for young and old alike, it is fun for listening.

Sunday, May 11 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. - 4 p.m.30 - Teatro di Corte of the Reggia di Monza
I PRESENTO IL TEATRINO - Cultural tour by FAI Monza

After a long and painstaking restoration, the best-kept jewel of the Reggia di Monza is finally accessible again. With volunteers from the local section of the FAI acting as guides, it will be possible to discover the Teatrino, a real court theater, and appreciate its small size, the wooden stage, the backdrop decorated with a mythological subject and the royal box, entirely frescoed in neoclassical style (like the walls). A true architectural marvel.

Monday, May 12, 9 p.m.- Church of St. Maria al Carrobiolo
MAGNIFICAT a jazz tribute to God *first performance
Badrya Razem voiceGiovanni Falzone tromba Roberto Olzer organ

The Magnificat is a canticle contained in the first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke with which Mary praises and thanks God for graciously deigning to deliver her people. That is why it is also known as the Canticle of Mary. Magnificat is a concert-prayer for the salvation of the peoples of the world, for peace, for brotherhood and sisterhood among the peoples who inhabit this small planet. Magnificat is a new festival production that shines in musical syncretism: the task of interpreting the famous Gospel canticle will be entrusted to Badrya Razem, a young Italian singer of Algerian origin, who will take us on a journey around the Magnificat, from Pergolesi to Don Marco Frisina, from Vivaldi to Philip Glass, passing through Alice Coltrane's celebration of sacredness and collective rituality.
With her two extraordinary musicians, much loved by Musicamorfosi audiences: trumpeter Giovanni Falzone and organist Roberto Olzer.

Wednesday, May 14, 21.00 - Teatro Villoresi

A rhapsodic concert that opens with the unusual and original version by the brilliant Menorcan pianist Marco Mezquida of Gershwin's masterpiece (arranged for jazz trio and orchestra), and continues by interweaving some great classics by Dave Brubeck with some famous ballads by Gershwin himself and the legendary rock group led by Freddie Mercury: Blue Rondo alla Turca, Bohemian Rhapsody, Blue Shadows On The Street, Summertime, Love Of My Life and the lesser known but equally spectacular You Take My Breath Away. All with the breathtaking and unmissable vocals of Italian-Algerian singer Badrya Razem.

Thursday, May 15, 21.00 -  Teatro Villoresi
