On Friday, May 15 at 9 p.m. in the Sala dei Giganti in Padova, Soroptimist International Club Padova organizes Al chiaro di luna, an international concert of music and solidarity in favor of Medici con l’Africa Cuamm of Padova – the important Italian NGO that focuses on health care for African populations. Accompanied on piano by Maestro Riccardo Piacentini, nine Chinese opera singers between the ages of 23 and 25, students of the prestigious Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, will perform: the sopranos Ye Hangwen, Shou Xinran, Gao Lanxin, and Laura Santos; tenors Hu Jianyu, Song Jiawei, Li Yang, and Qiu Zini; and baritone Qiu Yifan.
In one hour, many gems will be performed including Beethoven’s Sonata Al chiaro di luna enhanced by excerpts from the poem “La sera” by Giacomo Leopardi – reworked by Riccardo Piacentini and interpreted by two tenors and a baritone. The original program includes Beethoven’s Nine Italian Songs in the version with the original corrections by the Veronese composer Antonio Salieri and the inclusion of a piano accompaniment written by Piacentini.
