World premiere
A journey into the dark side of music, blending virtuosity and restlessness. Il demoniaco brings together pianist Gabriele Strata and violinist Christian Sebastianutto, along with FVG Orchestra conducted by Paolo Paroni. Permeated by a subtle thread of fear — both seductive and unsettling — the programme combines Liszt’s visionary Totentanz, Tartini’s legendary Devil’s Trill and Strauss’s intense Metamorphosen: a shiver that becomes music, poised between tension and beauty.
In case of bad weather, the show will be held in Teatro Ristori
