The concerts on November 29th and 30th offer residents and visitors the opportunity to experience quality music , performed by nationally and internationally recognized artists , and to discover places rich in history and spirituality.

The initiative is organized by the Franco Oppo Sardinian Regional Orchestra Association and the Incontri Musicali Association , with the support of the Ministry of Culture , the Autonomous Region of Sardinia , and the Municipality of Cagliari . The organizers emphasize the importance of an initiative that, through music, fosters inclusion, participation, and cultural valorization of the region.

THE PROGRAM – On Saturday 29 November at 7 pm in the hall of the Parish of Our Lady of Fatima , in the Giorgino area, there will be “ Music on the Territory ”, which represents a true journey through the musical languages of twentieth-century Europe and South America . On stage will be the mezzo-soprano Cristina Melis , the internationally renowned cellist Robert Witt and the innovative EightCellos Ensemble , joined by members of the Franco Oppo Sardinian Regional Orchestra . The range will range from the “ Italian Songs ” by Ennio Porino , to the swing atmospheres of Glenn Miller , passing through the emotions of “ Adios Nonino ” by Astor Piazzolla and the melodic suggestions of Otto Harbach . The common thread will be the ability of music to connect distant cultures, generations and sensibilities . The choice to combine the solo voice and the ensemble of eight cellos creates a sound mix of great charm and originality , paying homage to fundamental artists in the history of twentieth-century music and exploring the many souls of chamber music.

The event will continue on Saturday, November 29th at 7:30 pm in the historic halls of the Palazzo Regio with one of the most anticipated events of the musical season. Baritone Johannes Held and pianist Stefano Cocco will perform “ Die Schöne Müllerin” (The Beautiful Miller's Wife) , a cycle of twenty Lieder written by Franz Schubert and considered among the absolute pinnacles of literature for voice and piano. The audience will be able to experience this poignant poetic and musical story , which intertwines the themes of journey , the force of nature , love , hope , and pain . The refined style of the performers and the expressive depth of the score will guarantee an evening of great intensity and emotional participation , helping to consolidate Cagliari's role as a point of reference for international classical music.

The final event will be on Sunday, November 30th at 7:30 pm in the historic setting of the Church of Sant'Agostino in Cagliari. The event will bring together the European Baroque tradition and the vivacity and spirituality of Brazil . The concert will once again feature mezzo-soprano Cristina Melis , Robert Witt , and the original EightCellos Ensemble , performing Heitor Villa-Lobos 's monumental " Bachianas Brasileiras ." These compositions, world-famous for their blend of Johann Sebastian Bach's contrapuntal writing with the sounds and rhythms typical of Brazilian music, offer audiences enveloping, profound, and captivating atmospheres. The program will be enriched by other works by Porino, Miller, Harbach, and Piazzolla , in a musical journey spanning continents and centuries.
