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 famous 1849 work initially intended for clarinet and piano but has been arranged for many instruments since its release. A brief intermission will be followed by Francis Poulenc's Sonata for flute and piano, a three-movement work written in 1957. The night will close with Alfredo Casella's Sicilienne et Burlesque and Frank Martin's Ballade."
