CELLO COMPETITION “L. BOCCHERINI”

The edition 2017 of the Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival will present an international and very high quality program, created by artistic director Riccardo Cecchetti in collaboration with Jan Bjøranger. During three weeks, from July 16th to August 5th 2017,  34 public events will take place in the deep heart of Lucca, including concerts, competitions , public interviews and masterclasses open to everyone in the most magical places of city.
The first week of the Festival (July 16 to 22) will be dedicated to vocal and choral repertoire from opera. Thanks to a new prestigious collaboration with important companies in the Chinese music world, the 2017 China-Europe International Festival will take place in Lucca: this is an artistic-educational program created specifically for a large and selected group of Chinese singers who will perform in two public events in the beautiful Auditorium San Romano with prestigious soloists and the Orchestra of Fiesole School of Music.

From 24 July to 5 August will be the turn for the instrumental Festival to take place: masterclasses, among the most important in the world, will be dedicated to piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass and chamber music, with some of the brightest young musicians in the world as students.

The public programming of the Festival includes multiple events daily, from July 25 to August 5, in various places of Lucca and will give the opportunity to listen and learn about some of the most important musicians on the world stage, with confirmations from the last edition. The program will also be enriched by public interviews with the historic voice of Radio 3, Guido Zaccagnini, who will guide us in a deepening about music.
