Description
An organ concert in Milan fills the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, a 16th-century building, with the sound of a pipe organ for about an hour. The organist shows why the instrument is called the King of Instruments, and how it can suggest the weight of a whole orchestra.
The programme sets the solemn side of Italian classical music beside film soundtracks, drawing on Interstellar, Ennio Morricone and Game of Thrones. Some background on the music, the church's architecture and Milan's artistic heritage is woven in, so the hour is a short lesson as well as a performance: live music, storytelling and atmosphere, rather than a simple visit to the church.
- A live performance inside a historic church
- Classical works and cinematic music in one programme
- Context on the church and Italian musical heritage
It suits travellers who want an authentic concert during a stay in Milan, in a setting where architecture, history and sound belong together.
