On 14 August, Ceresio Estate dedicates a double concert day to AYSO. In the morning, the “Francesco 800” project will be heard at Sant’Abbondio in Gentilino; in the evening, Montagnola will host “Prima di Berlino” with the AYSO Orchestra conducted by Teresa Satalino.
The first event connects music, spirituality and the memory of the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures. The second presents one of Italy’s most interesting youth orchestral projects shortly before its appearance at Young Euro Classic in Berlin.
The day thus becomes an encounter between training, territory and the future, offering the public two different yet complementary sides of the same artistic project.
Free admission.
