Riccardo Muti will lead his Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, the Cremona Antiqua Chorus prepared by Antonio Greco and the Chorus of the National Opera of Ukraine “Taras Shevchenko” led by Bogdan Plish. The music that will range from Vivaldi’s Magnificat, with soprano Arianna Vendittelli and contralto Margherita Sala, to the voices of a hundred children who rise in Mozart’s Ave verum corpus, from Concerto n. 1 K 412 by Mozart entrusted to horn player Felix Klieser, to the Stabat Mater and Verdi’s Te Deum, will be “an ecumenical intertwining of voices, cultures and spirituality that finds unity in the most spontaneous of invocations: that to the Mother, the image of all mothers “.
Today the master Muti, together with his wife and his staff, visited the Lauretan sanctuary accompanied by the archbishop Mons. Fabio Dal Cin. “I believe that this event” said the Archbishop “is a message of hope, friendship and peace. Precisely because of the worrying challenges such as the war that broke out in the heart of Europe, this musical moment becomes an important opportunity to make room to hope “.
In his speech, M. Muti told the meaning of the “travels of Friendship” annual fixed appointment. “Our travels of friendship started in Sarajevo in a devastated and destroyed city. This trip to Loreto has an even deeper meaning: when we take the travels of friendship we usually go to the suffering places to convey a message of love and spirituality through music. Here it is different because this place is not a place of war, but of peace, of profound spirituality. I hope this message can reach the whole world “. (HANDLE).
