S. Sciarrino (1947) “Infinito Nero: estasi di un atto”

Admission € 15

The Basilica of Santa Barbara is tinged with black with Wunderkammer, In-canto and the music of Salvatore Sciarrino. Among the most famous Italian composers of today, Sciarrino delves into this’ ecstasy ‘for voice and eight instruments in the visions of Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi, a Carmelite nun whose anguished ambiguity Sciarrino especially appreciates. The MDI ensemble, one of the most renowned in Italy for today’s music, investigates the mysticism of this enigmatic and evocative work.
