From Italy with Love

Dubai Opera welcomes two internationally-acclaimed Italian maestros on Sunday 25th June, as flautist Tommaso Benciolini and pianist Leonora Armellini present a concert entitled From Italy with Love as part of the VIP Classical initiative, organised by SAMIT Event Group. The evening opens with Antonín Dvořák’s Sonatina, a four-movement work initially released in 1893 for violin and piano, with the duo presenting an arrangement for flute and piano. Next comes Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestücke (‘Fantastic Pieces’), a popular 1849 work that was originally intended for clarinet and piano but has been arranged for a multitude of instruments since its release. Finally, following a brief interval, the two artists close the evening with César Franck’s beloved Sonata in A major, widely regarded as one of the most exemplary masterpieces created in the sonata form.
