  • Open rehearsals by the ‘Tiber Ensemble’, Monday 30 March at 11am.

    Casanatense Library Via S. Ignazio, 52, Roma, Italy

    Almost 100 years after the composition of the Serenade, Op. 46, by Alfredo Casella, a leading Italian composer of the 20th century, the chamber ensemble “Tiber Ensemble” offers listeners the refined compositional mastery of this composer, who remains little known to the general public even today. The ensemble is holding an open dress rehearsal in anticipation of the upcoming concerts the group will perform in Rome and the surrounding area, with the aim of celebrating the great Italian masters who have made the Italian tradition famous throughout the world; proof of this is the fact that the Serenade presented here won Casella first prize in a major composition competition in Philadelphia, tied with another great musical genius, the Hungarian Bela Bartok. The various movements of the Serenade are all forms dear to the Italian musical tradition
