«Uto Ughi for young people from“ The Unknown Sanctity ”» the new project of the great violinist with the brothers Ivan and Natascia Chiarlo and the support of the Ferrero Foundation of Alba, had to wait a year for the ribbon cutting. Blame the second lockdown. Finally on November 14, the Busca di Alba social theater will host the inaugural concert in which the maestro, accompanied by the Uto Ughi and Friends orchestra, will interpret Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, combining the music with the sonnets that accompany the score, adding magic of the verse to that of the notes. Ughi will return to the capital of the Langhe on November 16 with Elena Matteucci at the piano for a recital in the auditorium of the Ferrero Foundation, dedicated to the great virtuosic tradition. The review will continue until January with other great performers. Info and reservations at 3478072022.
After two such difficult years for culture, music and theater, you will be the protagonist of a review dedicated to young people. Our future.
“These were very hard times, both for those who play, for the artists, and for the people who listen because they have been deprived of music and concerts. Young people are naturally the future because there must be a generational change. I always reiterate that young people will be much happier when there is a minimum of musical education in schools that has been lacking so far ».
What is the secret of a great master to overcome the gap between generations?
«In art there is no distance between generations. Art is always something alive, current, young and creative. Mozart is understood by young and old people. It is pure beauty and beauty has no age ».
«Uto Ughi for young people» was born from the long and glorious experience of «The unknown Holiness». Do you think it has brought a more heterogeneous audience closer to classical music?
«I have always played at the Staffarda Abbey in the concerts organized by Ivan and Natascia Chiarlo that I admire because they spend energy and enthusiasm for the diffusion of music: in Staffarda there was a wonderful atmosphere».
Like all the arts, music also needs patrons and Maria Franca Ferrero has chosen this commitment.
«The elective affinities start from an impulse of mutual human sympathy but also from the sharing of the same ideals. We met Mrs. Ferrero in Staffarda and a beautiful friendship was born immediately: I felt her love for music ». –
