Nino Rota e Milano

Friday 02 december 2011 e saturday 03 december 2011 – CIDIM, in collaboration with Fondazione Orchestra Sinfonica e Coro Sinfonico di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, has announced a symposium which marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the composer Nino Rota and in addition draws attention to a critical review which reconsiders the figure of the composer in the context of both his lifetime and present times.
The central theme of the conference is Rota’s musical talent and his extraordinary, precocious cultural knowledge, together with the formative years and the first compositions, and is the result of research studies carried out by three young musicologists – Matteo M. Vecchio, Federico Lazzaro and Giovanni Salis – and by eminent scholars including Francesco Lombardi, Emilio Sala and Carlo Cavalletti.
