The 58th Magadino International Organ Music Festival
The sound of the pipes of the Magadino parish church prestigious Mascioni organ will not be heard in summer 2020.
After 57 events without interruption, this year the Magadino Organ Festival will not take place for obvious reasons.
This happened on the centenary of the birth of Don Aldo Lanini (08/01/1920), who in 1963, together with other enthusiasts, founded this internationally renowned organ music event.
To avoid disappointing the many fans of the Magadino Organ Festival and keep the event alive, it will be possible to listen to distinctive archive recordings on 7,10,14,17 and 21 July, at 8.15 pm on RSI - RETE 2, thanks to Maestro Giuseppe Clericetti’s cooperation.
Sunday 25 October 2020 (time to be set later),
“Les Vêpres de la Vièrge” opus 18, by Marcel Dupré will take place in the Magadino parish church. Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) was a famous organist who inaugurated the Festival on 22 June1963.
The concert will see the Ensemble Dupré with Stefano Molardi at the organ and Giovanni Conti conducting.
We hope you will enjoy the music, and that we will meet in summer, next year for the 59th Event. |
