Dulcantis duo concertistico | Circolo della Musica di Bologna

Sunday May 17, 2026, the Circolo della Musica di Bologna, at the Sala Andrea Baldi in Rastignano, hosts the Dulcantis duo, featuring soprano Silvia Salfi and pianist Silvia Orlandi.

Program:

• Women’s Voices in Music: Lieder by Fanny Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Emilie Luise Frederica Mayer, Clara Josephine Wieck Schumann, and Michelle Ferdinande Pauline García Viardot

The duo performs a wide-ranging repertoire across genres and forms: opera, operetta, lieder, singer-songwriter music, and traditional songs.

Silvia Salfi studied both classical and folk singing, taking part in the intense artistic activities of Arcanto as a choir soloist and singer/actress in the associated theatre group. As an opera singer, she performs in theatrical and musical productions alongside actors and musicians.

Silvia Orlandi graduated with top marks from the G. Frescobaldi Conservatory in Ferrara and continued her studies with Maestro Franco Scala at the Piano Academy of Imola. On several occasions she recorded concerts for RAI with young musicians, and from 1988 to 1996 she worked as a collaborative pianist at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna and the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro with important directors, including Dario Fo for L’Italiana in Algeri. She performs in several musical ensembles, including the Trio di Bologna (a six-hand piano trio), with whom she recorded a CD in 2020, the Dulcantis Duo (soprano and piano), and the Sopratonic Duo (flute and piano).
