On Monday June 8, at 7:00 PM, at the Birreria Popolare in Bologna, guitarist Francesco Russo will perform as part of the series Classical in Sneakers.
A program that presents the guitar as a narrative instrument: capable of singing a melody, evoking an image, suggesting an atmosphere with just a few gestures. Francesco Russo creates a journey that moves through film soundtracks and song classics, alternating well-known themes with highly evocative instrumental pieces.
From Morricone and Mancini to standards such as Over the Rainbow and Misty, up to Tárrega and the expressive power of Piazzolla, the recital focuses on tonal color and a variety of moods: intimate, luminous, rhythmic. An ideal event for those who love music “to listen to and to imagine.”

- E. Morricone Nuovo Cinema Paradiso – Childhood and Adulthood - Love Theme
