I Suoni delle Dolomiti: Musica verticale

I Suoni delle Dolomiti are unique encounters between music, nature and silence. In a theatre without walls, where the landscape becomes the stage, artists and audiences share the walk and the experience of listening. Harmonies intertwine with the breath of the Dolomites in an experience that exists only here and now.

I Suoni delle Dolomiti: Musica Verticale. Gardeccia (Pozza di Fassa), Thursday 1 October at 2:00 pm

Programme
Music and climbing share a language made up of listening, rhythm and presence. Both require absolute concentration, a balance between technique and emotion, and the ability to engage with the space that hosts them: an arena, a concert hall or a rock face. In climbing as in music, every movement counts, every choice is irreversible and stems from an intimate relationship between body, mind and environment. It is on this common ground that the protagonists of these two I Suoni events come together: one of the world's strongest climbers, Alexander Huber, who has accomplished exceptional feats on a wide variety of rock faces, both solo and alongside his brother Thomas (and who plays the piano to relax); a pianist who loves the mountains, Chiara Schmidt, who studied at the Milan Conservatory, then in Vienna and finally at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, where she now teaches; Giuseppe Cederna, an Italian actor and writer who rose to fame with Salvatores' film Mediterraneo and has previously been a guest in Trentino, where he also took part in an edition of Dolomiti di Pace; and Ensemble Cortlys, a quintet of exceptional musicians from Europe's leading orchestras and ensembles - four strings and a double bass - drawn by the idea of taking part in such an unusual and interdisciplinary project. Their shared aim is to transform artistic and mountaineering experiences into a single act of self-expression and creative freedom.
