MORGAN
Marco Castoldi also known as Morgan is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist musician, writer, composer, music divulger and talent scout.
Eclectic and versatile artist, his production embraces many music settings: songs, movies and theatrical soundtracks, direction of an opera. Moreover, his work grants space to research, from classical music to voice synthesis.
Faithful to his standard, Morgan follows his inspiration of the moment during a concert, free to improvise monologues, without a precise schedule. In his hands music is substance to shape, model, build, modify at any time.
Saturday 9th March – at 4.00 p.m. and at 6.00 p.m.
FABRIZIO DE ANDRE ENSEMBLE
Nine artists coming from different places and with different music influences meet on the stage. From South Tyrol to Veneto, from Friuli-Venezia Giulia to Calabria, from Sardinia to Peru, with instruments of absolute importance: guitar, bass, violin, percussions. All of this has the ambition to retrace in a refined way every evolutionary stage in the artistic career of this Genoese singer-songwriter. At the same time, it can release a musicality that is in line with the most appreciated instrumental evolutions, which Fabrizio de Andrè himself has perfected over the years, and that entails an encounter of genres and styles with a strong emotional impact.
Thursday concerts
THE PARADICE ORCHESTRA
The Paradice Orchestra plays every Thursday and dedicates each concert to a great pop-rock artist, testing both modern and classic arrangements in order to combine pop, classical and contemporary music.
The Orchestra is born from the union between Los Locos Armando’s, well-established local rock band, with the pianist Massimo Faes and the eclectic Phenix, all female string trio. The result is a music that can be collocated between sacred and profane and between rock and classical music.
The Paradice Orchestra is formed by:
Nick Turri – Drums
Emanuele Ghirardini – Guitar
Roberto Marzucchi – Bass
Massimo Faes – Keyboard
Ilaria Giorgi – Cello
Maria Pizio – Viola

BEATLES, THE WHITE CONCERT
The extraordinary history of the Fab 4 starts at the end of the 1950s, exactly in the rock and roll era, but it is from the mid-1960s onwards that the Beatles create the basis of all contemporary music exploring different sounds and genres. A timeless and boundless music.

RINO GAETANO TRIBUTE
Inconvenient, shy and distant from masses, Rino Gaetano has never been afraid of expressing his thoughts. His songs are unique in the Italian music scene.
