I Suoni delle Dolomiti: Luciano Biondini, Rosario Giuliani | Tribute to Morricone

I Suoni delle Dolomiti is a unique event. A music festival at high altitude that brings together musicians from all over the world in the most beautiful mountains of the Alps. The idea behind this initiative is simple: to combine the great passions for music, art and the mountains in a cycle of concerts under the banner of freedom and nature.
 

I Suoni delle Dolomiti: Luciano Biondini and Rosario Giuliani. Homage to Ennio Morricone. Col Bel (Buffaure-Pozza), Thursday 14 September at 12 noon.

The most magnificent music intertwined with the world of cinema in Luciano Biondini and Rosario Giuliani’s Cinema Italiano project contends with the natural grandeur of the Val di Fassa’s Col Bel, fading into the horizon. Rosario Giuliani on saxophone and Luciano Biondini on accordion pay tribute to Morricone and show their love for the great Italian cinema that has made the country beloved across the world. The event puts a contemporary twist on the iconic soundtrack themes that have not only entered the collective imagination, but have also earned their place in music history. Musical themes are infused with new vigour and vitality. During the event, the duo will perform a selection of Morricone's well-known themes, reinterpreting them to enrich the melodies, interspersed with improvisations. Giuliani and Biondini’s improvisation skills have earned them such fame and respect that they have long been considered major figures in the international jazz scene.
