Corrado Rojac at the Philharmonic Academy, Bologna – Italyby Francesca Pigini, Pigini Accordion Factory |
 On June 19th Maestro Azio Corghi held the final concert of the advanced composition course at the Philharmonic Academy of Bologna. Performing were the members and soloists of the Ensemble FontanaMix Bologna, directed by Francesco La Licata, also Corrado Rojac presenting the first performance of two new pieces for accordion.The first piece for solo accordion, ‘Shift’ by Gianluca Verlingieri in which the young composer from Cuneo has fully exploited the possibilities and sound of the accordion, bringing together the piece in its most disparate effects that this instrument can give. The second piece - a first execution of ‘Liturgy’ – in which Corrado attended the course as a composer - for violin, accordion and piano. The piece, dedicated to Messiaen, the French composer, is intended to be a cathartic journey. A very interesting evening, with as many as seven premieres, with the accordion alongside traditional instruments such as piano, flute, violin, giving an interesting touch of colour, and also demonstrating that it has found its own dimension of culture. The latest developments of the instrument, then, do presage a future in contemporary music still full of novelty and excitement. This event took place in the Mozart Room, where in 1770 Mozart himself played counterpoint that allowed him to become a member of the Academy. |
