Opera House of Milano, Thursday's grand finale of Musical Square with a gripping comparison between Brahms and the saxophone.

Four champions, absolute specialists in their reference repertoires, they challenge in an exciting stylistic comparison for the final evening of Musical Square, the review of chamber music created by Giuliano De Angelis which, for this first edition, animated the stage of the Teatro Lirico Giorgio Gaber.
The synergy with the classical music sector, directed by Roberto Favaro, and with the artistic coordinator, Yulia Berinskaya.

For sixth and final appointment, scheduled for Thursday 9 November at 18 pm and entitled Duo al quadrati, the romanticism of the great Brahmsian compositions will dialogue violin and piano, played by Yulia Berinskaya and Alessandra Ammara, and the freshness of the repertoire for saxophone and piano, entrusted to the expert hands of Gaetano Di Bacco and Giuliano Mazzoccante. On the one hand Johannes Brahms, giant of nineteenth-century chamber music; on the other Darius Milhaud, Roger Boutry, Paul Creston and Roberto Molinelli, authors who have made their stylistic signature out of curiosity and contamination between genres.
The collaboration with the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado is renewed: as usual, toopening the event will in fact be the performance of one of his most brilliant students, the pianist Daniele Panizza. Presenter of the evening, the Tuscan saxophonist and musicologist Ruben Marzà.
A worthy conclusion, therefore, for a review that wanted to propose a new way of looking at chamber music, focusing precisely on the freshness of the proposals: after the repertoire for string sextet by #RomanticStories it was in fact the turn of the Chapliniana cine-concert, and the detailed program for orchestra, piano and soprano Nobility and aristocracy; in autumn we then witnessed the fortunate meeting between Beethoven's music and theater in Vermont, and finally a first comparison between genres, that between classical piano and jazz in Piani Incrociati.
With Duo squared, a path comes to an end capable of earning critical acclaim and the warmth of the public, and of giving new life to the Milanese music scene.
