And on Saturday, August 3rd, Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg takes the stage with the Peer Gynt Suite and Concerto in A Minor – with Valentina Lisitsa at the piano, as directed by Michael Erren.
Meanwhile, August 7th sees pianists Bruno Canino, Andrea Bacchetti and Domenico Sanfilippo perform three Pianoforte Concertos by Bach and Mozart; they are preceded by six of Mozart's German Dances and Bach's Symphonies Wq 183 in D Major.
During the week of Ferragosto (August 15th), Palermo Classica contrasts the musical events of the 20th Century with some of Italy’s most intriguing current movements.
Finally, the Festival is to conclude in celebration of the 200-year mark of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi (Saturday, September 7th). The public can enjoy Verdi‘s most famous Overtures and Arias, as conducted by young Sicilian Maestro Salvatore Percacciolo and sung by Soprano Susanna Bianchini and the Philharmonia Choir.
