Highlights
The first ever performance of the symphonic suite “Irene of Boston” will see the Massimo Youth Orchestra, conducted by Valter Sivilotti, alongside the saxophonist Francesco Cafiso, author of the music and arrangements together with Mauro Schiavone. The symphonic suite takes its title from the name of the sailing ship “Irene of Boston” built in 1914 in Cornwall and which became, a hundred years later, after a history of voyages across the seas of the world, a mass of wood stranded on the Pozzallo seafront , a port in south-eastern Sicily that opens onto the Mediterranean. Cafiso imagines the transformation of the wood and brass instruments of the sailing ship into musical instruments and from this idea begins a musical journey which is also an ideal conversation with Corto Maltese, the legendary sailor created by the pencil of Hugo Pratt.
