‘Ithaka’ by Cristiana Pegoraro debuts at Carnegie Hall
Considered to be among the most interesting and versatile performers of her generation, Italian-born pianist and composer Cristiana Pegoraro returns to Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall with the world premiere of her composition set ITHAKA – The Journey of a Modern Ulysses.
The music is inspired by the poem ITHAKA by the great Greek poet Constantinos Petrou Kavafis (1863-1933) who compares the voyage of Ulysses to the journey of our lives. Like Ulysses voyage, so man’s voyage is rich in discoveries and adventures, goals to reach and lessons to learn. The most important thing is not to reach the goal, but everything we learn along the way.
Each of the musical pieces composed by Cristiana Pegoraro represents an important step of our life: the departure, the expectation, the passion, the choice, the discovery, the sensuality, the knowledge, the destiny, the understanding, the journey, the wisdom.
ITHAKA by Cristiana Pegoraro was born from the need to unite people belonging to the diverse cultures, regions and traditions from the Mediterranean; a Mediterranean as a place with a potential to express solidarity, welcome and friendship, and as a warrant for peace among the peoples; a sea which unifies instead of dividing, and a symbol of a world-wide dialogue and understanding in histories which are different, but which are all about the same universal subject: Mankind.
In spring and summer 2020, Ithaka will travel throughout the Mediterranean to present its musical message of peace and dialogue in the ports of historical capitals and the striking ancient theaters if Italy, Spain, Greece, Malta, Israel, Albania, Lebanon.This innovating program also features selections from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi and the famous Overtures to Il Barbiere di Siviglia and L’Italiana in Algeri by Rossini, in her own transcriptions for piano.
