Astrolabe Concert

Astrolabe Concert Presented by the Astrolabio Ensemble Music Group, conducted by Samuele Zagara with the shimmering solo trumpet of Nicola Cella, this concert film transports you across an exhilarating spectrum of musical styles. Join us on a vibrant journey that begins with D. Shostakovich’s “Waltz No. 2” from *Jazz Suite No. 2*, follows with a rhythmic Joplin waltz, and ventures into the playful Argentine dance “Danza de la moza donosa” (Op. 2 No. 2) by A. E. Ginastera. The program continues with Nino Rota’s lush “Verdi Waltzes and Farewell Waltzes” from *The Leopard*, Johann Strauss II’s spirited “Russian March Fantasy” (Op. 353), and the exuberant “Fireproof! French Polka” (Op. 269) by J. Strauss. Classic French harmonies glow through Claude Debussy’s *Preludes, Book I* (L 125: “Minstrels” No. 12) and *Preludes, Book II* (L 131: “The Terrace of the Moonlit Audiences” No. 7). From the silver screen to the concert hall, discover John Williams’s emotive “Somewhere in My Memory” from *Home Alone*, Joseph Martin’s sparkling “Bells of December,” and Douglas E. Wagner’s festive “Jing Jingle Bells.” The film also features captivating songs freshly reworked by Samuele Zagara, weaving new textures into familiar melodies.
