Dolce Vita

La Dolce Vita is a 1962 Oscar award winning film directed by Federico Fellini. It is certainly one of the most well-known films in cinema history. Over time the expression 'la dolce vita' has encapsulted worldwide the notion of the celebration of Italian lifestyle. Italy is universally known for its cuisine and wine, immense artistic heritage, regional cultural traditions from opera to fashion and design, and definetely for its film.
The project symphony Dolce Vita wants to take this Italian essence and combine it with the most famous movie soundtracks originating from an Italian. Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, Nicola Piovani and Luis Bacalov (a naturalised Italian) are examples of composers who wrote music for film's immortal masterpieces.
The program, organized in the arrangements by Giuliano Di Giuseppe, is brought to life by a symphony orchestra and three soloists: voice, cello and piano. It is a musical journey through the soundtracks of films such as For a Few Dollars More, Once Upon a Time in America, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Mission, Cinema Paradiso, Once Upon a Time in the West, A Fistful of Dynamite, The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean, I Vitelloni, La Strada, La Dolce Vita, The Leopard, 8 ½, Amarcord, The Godfather, Il Postino and La Vita e 'Bella.
It is also a magical journey through the diverse souls of those composers who from the 1950's to the present day, travelled the beautiful country of Italy and took it to the world for it to be known. The musical notes of Dolce Vita will elicit memories, emotions, history and the life lived by different generations revived through the audience. Dolce Vita is a never-before-seen show, full of passion.

Tango Forever

"Tango Forever" is a show that, in its first part, proposes some of the most significant pieces in the history of tango, with lyrics enriched with the evocative verses written by the poet Jorge Luis Borges (born 1899, died 1986), that has the target to lead the listener through this fascinating journey. The first part of the show ends with a symbolical handling over the power from Gardel to Piazzolla, a composer died the years ago and to whom the second part of the concert is dedicated.
The separation from the dance, the value attribuited to the instrumental texture, the bent for improvisation, the particular richness of the harmonic solutions, make Piazzolla's music an elegant synthesis that remains, in spite of all, strongly tango.
Thime has therefore given reason to Astor Piazzolla, whose cross dimension of modern musician, in the most prolific sense of the term, allowed him to be appreciated, in the musical field, as one of the most interesting leading personalities of the post war.
