Concert of Neapolitan classics, serenades and Sicilian music
There is a kind of music the whole world recognises as Italian from the very first notes: the great Neapolitan songs, the serenades sung beneath a balcony, the songs of Sicily. Ilarion, tenor and composer, brings it to the concert stage in Italy and abroad, alongside his own original works.
The programme
- Neapolitan classics: the songs that made the Italian voice famous around the world.
- Serenades: the most romantic tradition of song, born for one person and now shared by everyone.
- Sicilian music: the songs of an ancient land, of the sea, its feasts and its memory.
- Ilarion's own compositions: original pieces in which bel canto meets his story as an artist and a seeker of Beauty.
The concert lasts about 45 minutes, and the programme is tailored to the place and the occasion.
