The new season of Domus Artium<\/strong>, the prestigious circuit of international concerts and social gatherings held inside spaces of high artistic and historical value around Rome, opens on January 27th with a concert and evening at Palazzo della Cancelleria, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, as well as the city’s first entirely Renaissance palace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its second year of programs, Domus Artium will showcase a departure from its previous season, moving from events held in private residences to public spaces, palaces of institutions, and high-profile museum and music venues.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A majority of these will be 16th century Rome<\/a> locations of great magniloquence and iconicity that will host concerts and evenings featuring artists of the highest caliber on the international stage – monumental venues that exude even more charm through the atmospheric combination of majesty, high artistic value and the intimate excitement of chamber music performances featuring some of the most renowned names in classical music.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Taking the stage in the Great Hall of the Palazzo della Cancelleria are Nina Kotova and Josu de Solaun<\/b> – an expressive choice for the opening given the powerful stage presence and charisma of Kotova, who is also the musical director of Domus Artium. On piano will be Iberian Josu de Solaun, one of the world’s most original new stars of the keyboard<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n

The concert will open to the sweet notes of Vocalise, an immortal melody written by Rachmaninov <\/strong>and known to be one of the most poignant pieces of music of the last century. This will be followed by Sonata Op. 65 by Britten<\/strong>, a leading 20th-century English composer who wrote the five-movement work for the celebrated cellist Rostropovich, to whom it was later dedicated. The concert will then journey further back in time with Chopin’s most intense Romanticism<\/strong> with the Sonata Op. 65, one of the very few pieces written by the composer in which the protagonist is not the piano alone. The performance will conclude finally with Astor Piazzolla’s Le Grand Tango<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The debut last year of Domus Artium,” says Barrett Wissman, chairman of the arts management agency IMG Artists,<\/strong> “was a great challenge and at the same time a great thrill, coinciding moreover with the rebirth of live performance. The second year with an articulated program held in prestigious venues means that we have tapped into and stirred a widespread demand for culture and beauty, while also finding a willingness from institutions to be open to unusual experiences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
