“What is truly incredible to me is that violins built by Stradivari by the candlelight, today shine bright under the spotlights of venues around the world,” says renowned Italian violinist Matteo Fedeli.
On Sunday, April 28th beginning at 7:30 pm, Matteo Fedeli brings his Uno Stradivari per la Gente (A Stradivari for the People) project to Reinberger Chamber Music Hall at Severance Hall. The concert is presented by the Hon. Consulate of Italy in Cleveland and the Consulate of Italy in Detroit and is a special initiative that marks 2013 as the Year of Italian Culture in the USA. Although Sunday’s performance is sold out, a second concert has been scheduled for Saturday, June 15 in Cincinnati.
Sunday’s concert features the music of Saint-Saëns, Franck, Bartók, Kreisler and Rachmaninoff and will be performed on the “1726 Grand Stradivarius”, which belonged to the Adams collection, and was played by Fritz Kreisler and Pablo de Sarasate. [Read more…]
