Also this year Associazione Culturale Musica Venezia will participate in the Carnival of Venice with a special event dedicated to the theme of the Venetian Carnival, which this year is Love.
Harlequin will recite a monologue about love, followed by an animated film, “Poor Pierrot” (1891). This will be followed by music and dance. The main piece is K. Stockhausen’s “Der kleine Harlekin” (The Small Harlequin) for clarinet solo with a ballerina dressed as Harlequin. The next pieces will be by Paul Hindemith and other modern composers performed by Duo Fratello, clarinet and cello. In conclusion, in the clarinet and cello Duet “The Mime” by Arthur Lourie, Pierrot will be interpreted in dance.
