Friday 18 November 2011 - Portrait of an Italian For this concert Manchester Camerata was joined by the internationally-renowned Italian cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima. A performer quite unlike any other, Giovanni Sollima has a rock musician's energy and directness of communication, and a musicality that sits happily across many genres. Put together around his personality, this programme, blending the traditional and the more modern, features two of his own works, the lyrical Violoncelles Vibrez! for two cello soloists and strings, and LB Files, a mini dramatisation of the life of Luigi Boccherini, a work that embraces jazz, world, contemporary and rock all in one. This programme also features original works by Respighi and Boccherini. Click to View |

Saturday 19 November 2011 - Masterclass with Giovanni Sollima, RNCM The day after his electrifying performance with Manchester Camerata, Giovanni Sollima led a masterclass with students at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. Click here to watch the final part of the masterclass, which Sollima penned Giovanni's Magic Circle. The awe-inspiring cellist led this one hour session on free improvisation, sometimes using Bach as his starting point. The student response was hugely positive with approximately 40 students attending and then joining in. Sollima is a man who's quite literally thinking outside the box - the students ended up improvising in the car park as you can see! Click here to View |
