Lunchtime concert
The Reid Concert Hall and Italian Cultural Institute are pleased to bring Duo Alterno to the Scottish capital.
The Duo Alterno, defined by The Washington Post “the duo with a big voice and a fine sense of comedic timing”, by La Repubblica in Rome “the duo that gives voice (and piano) to the Italian century”, by the Globe and Mail in Toronto “the inventive Duo” and by The Indu in Chennai “an electric experience”, was set up in Turin (Italy). The DUO is considered one of the most significant reference points in the vocal-piano repertoire of works by composers from the early 20th century to the present. Since its debut in Vancouver in 1997 it has given concertos and held master-classes in over thirty countries. Many composers (including Giacomo Manzoni and Ennio Morricone) have written pieces for soprano Tiziana Scandaletti and pianist-composer Riccardo Piacentini, both of whom have recognised expertise in the History of Music as well as in their respective performance fields.
