Telemann. Un Concerto Narrante

What happens when a cartoon artist, a flutist, and an actor share the same stage?
The challenge is to transform a solo flute concert into a story capable of moving and engaging both children and adults.A multi-layered musical experience—blending sound, art, and theater—where listening merges with narration and imagery.
At the heart of the performance are Telemann’s magnificent Twelve Fantasias for Solo Flute. What brings them together is the story of the composer’s life: a journey through music and words, brought to life by motion comic-style illustrations projected on screen.
The cartoon drawings take the audience into 18th-century Germany, telling the tale of a surprisingly human, ironic, and passionate Georg Philipp Telemann. It’s the story of anyone who dares to follow a dream and finds the courage to make it real.

When & Where. The performance will take place on June 5, 2025 at 5:00 PM,

The event is free up to the number of seats (approx. 60 spots).
Audience members must be registered with the Arcipelago Library (preferably online at www.bibliotechediroma.it/opac/page/register or directly at the entrance).

He describes himself as a "dilettante" in the truest and most positive sense of the word: a musician who plays for the love of music, with a desire to share and keep classical music alive.
He has performed with the Tivoli Philharmonic and the Santa Cecilia Flute Orchestra, exploring a repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary music. He performs in Italy and abroad, and is currently the flutist of Sonaria Ensemble and president of the namesake association.
