New Year's Concert

Organ concert by Maestro Federico Ragionieri. 

The nineteenth-century Italian organ, a category of which the La Thuile instrument is a clear example, was born out of the need to be able to offer the organist the timbral potential of an orchestra and the possibility of repurposing the operatic repertoire so much in vogue at the time. The concert winds around the transcription of Corelli's celebrated Concerto Grosso in G minor “Fatto per la notte di Natale” and coeval baroque pieces with music by Pachelbel and Kaspar Kerll to later evoke the New Year's Eve concert atmosphere with transcriptions of music by Johann Strauss father and son and Ponchielli.

La Thuile parish church, dedicated to San Nicola and built in 1796, will host this event. The structure owns some paitings realised by the painter Ettore Mazzini and a wooden crucifix which survived to the French invasions of the XVIII century.
