Musica Italiana night

August 22, 2023 – Delightful concert by Maestro Yuriy Bekker for Dante Alighieri Society. We were so lucky to listen at a string quartet formed especially for us to play Italian music from Corelli to Vivaldi, from Puccini to Morricone. Maestro Bekker is well known in Charleston as Concertmaster of the Charleston Symphony, and Conductor of the Symphony Pops Orchestra. He is also the Conductor of the College of Charleston Orchestra.
The performance has been held at the charming St Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Downtown Charleston, followed by a garden reception.
Italy has been providing some of the world’s best loved music for four centuries. Here is the playlist of the evening:
Baroque:
– Corelli: Concerto grosso, op 6, no 4
– Vivaldi: Spring  from the Four Seasons
Opera:
-Puccini: O Mio Babbino Caro
-Mascagni: Intermezzo Cavaleria Rusticana
Movies:
– Bacalov: Il Postino
– Rota: Amarcord
– Morricone: Cinema Paradiso
– Morricone: Gabriel’s oboe
– Einaudi, Experience
Finale:
