Concert Giro d'Italia

They have been playing together for almost twenty years, "mettler&weber"! They have performed at countless vernissages, celebrated birthdays, played at the Architecture Biennale in Venice, accompanied choirs, played at small theaters, enriched company dinners, and provided background music for happy and sad occasions. They have helped with inaugurations and played for retirements. They have played on the train, in the castle or in the Bergkirchli church, they have delighted graduates in the assembly hall and they have also naturalized... and always with dedication and an original repertoire.

What began with "giro d'italia" finds its continuation in "viaggio".
Franco Mettler, clarinet, and Thomas Weber, accordion, devote themselves entirely to Italian music in their concert program "viaggio". They take their audience on an imaginary journey through Italy. They start in 17th century Cremona with Claudio Monterverdi's "si dolce é il tormento". Before heading to Girolamo Frescobaldi in Rome, they make a short detour to the Bergamo Alps to Marco Uccellini, who composed a wonderful piece with "Aria sopra la bergamasca". Further on, but "direttissima", we head south. To Apulia, where the tarantella comes from. People bitten by tarantulas are said to have danced to it until they were completely exhausted in order to drive the spider's poison out of their bodies. Back in Rome, we head to the "cinecitta", the film studio complex where Federico Fellini shot all his films from "La dolce vita" onwards and where Nino Rota wrote the music for them. Lasciatevi sorprendere!
