3-4-5-6 August 2018 – Brunnenburg, Dorf Tirol
The fifth edition of CastelCello, a precious and rare festival entirely
dedicated to the cello, presents four concerts by engaged artists of
different nationalities. This year’s edition will begin with Enrico
Bronzi, a virtuoso of the instrument and among the world’s best, with a
program which includes Bach and rare pieces such as the Ligety sonata
together with transcriptions of antique pieces by Bronzi himself. On the
second evening the Spanish Duo Boccherini, consisting of Antonio Martin
Acevedo (cello) and Marisa Gomez (guitar) will devote their efforts to
hispanic culture, ranging from Argentinean Tango to other popular
formats and South American and Spanish classics. At the third
appointment the highly acclaimed German soloist Alexander Hülshoff will
present a program which ranges from Bach to the English contemporary
composers Benjamin Britten and John Tavener and which will include a
Southtyrolean surprise. For the first time this year a free concert is
included: students attending Francesco Dillon’s masterclass from August
2nd to August 7th will perform a final concert.
