Curated by Estemporanea
Angelo Vinai (clarinet), Alberto Fantino (accordion), Cristiano Alasia (guitar), Francesco Bertone (double bass).
Versatile artists, the Cafè Express were born to keep up with our times, proposing a musical journey that will accompany the listener through cultures and musical traditions from around the world: from French Musettes to Argentine tango, klezmer and Balkan music, without forgetting the Italian tradition with tarantellas, waltzes, and much more. The musicians of the quartet, with classical backgrounds (Arena di Verona, the National Symphony Orchestra of RAI, Regio di Parma, Philharmonic Orchestra of Turin) have also collaborated with the most prominent names in the pop and jazz music scene: Antonello Venditti, Claudio Baglioni, Gian Maria Testa, Michel Petrucciani, Andrea Bocelli, Zucchero.
January 30, 2026 | Protto - Chamber Trio

Protto is a project of original music active since 2016, with 3 EPs released and several singles.
In 2021, it participated in XFactor and in 2023 reached the semifinals of Musicultura. With an artistic direction consistently in perfect balance between irony and poetry, Protto now presents its most elegant version.
A chamber ensemble where author music and classical music find their natural union, a new unprecedented style without ever giving up the irreverent depth of the poetic.
February 13, 2026 | Peter and the Wolf & Other Stories

A tale by Lucia Margherita Marino.
Quintetto Prestige - artists from the Teatro Regio di Torino, Federico Giarbella (flute), Alessandro Cammilli (oboe), Luigi Picatto (clarinet), Orazio Lodin (bassoon), Pierluigi Filagna (horn).
In great fairy tales, good children are disobedient! On the wonderful pages of Humperdinck and Prokofiev, adventures begin with new encounters, near dangers, fears overcome, and lessons that lead the little ones to grow up. Peter, Hansel, and Gretel are all of us who, in the woods or in the city, try to "go beyond," learning from our failures more than from our victories.
February 27, 2026 | Transalpine Gipsy Trio
Curated by L'Iniziativa Musicale
Elia Lasorsa (double bass), Carlos Garcia (guitar), Federico Fiore (guitar).
Among the French Alps, a sound without borders is born. Three musician friends come together to create a trio that blends the energy of swing and 1930s jazz manouche with contemporary freshness. Classical, modern jazz, and soundtrack atmospheres intertwine in a sound journey that reflects the three souls and cultures of the group: French, Spanish, and Italian. An acoustically elegant and engaging experience.
March 6, 2026 | The Opera in Noir
Curated by Estemporanea. Literary concert in collaboration with Torinoir and Golem Edizioni.
Valentina Escobar (soprano and scholarship "Giovanni e Rina Tardito 2026"), Sara Musso (piano).
Jealousy, envy, revenge, bullying, deep hatred, but also impossible loves and broken hearts: in opera, feelings are expressed to the nth degree. The works encapsulate, through unforgettable pages, all the deepest and darkest colors of the human soul, bringing to the stage passions, betrayals, and dramas that seem eternal. The book Regio Crimen (Golem Edizioni) brings to the stage crimes and tragic events united by a single red thread: that of opera, capable of transforming every gesture and every note into extraordinary emotional intensity.
March 13, 2026 | Intertwined Melodies
Curated by Estemporanea
Letizia Gullino (violin and scholarship "Loredana Sodero Garzelli 2025"), Luca Troncarelli (piano).
Between late Romantic harmonies and Spanish scents, a concert with a surprise program comes to life, where the exceptional skill of the musicians becomes the driving force of the entire evening. Winners of important national and international competitions, Letizia Gullino and Luca Troncarelli form a close duo that has been passionately and consistently dedicated to studying the repertoire for violin and piano for years, exploring its many nuances and returning to the audience all its expressive richness. Their research combines interpretative rigor and artistic sensitivity, giving life to a sound dialogue that alternates lyricism, energy, and changing colors, in an intertwining of emotions capable of captivating even the most demanding listeners.
March 27, 2026 | Duo Imbrea Varda
Curated by L'Iniziativa Musicale
Diana Imbrea (violin), Michela Varda (piano).
An intimate and intense dialogue between piano and violin: two different voices intertwining in a single musical narrative. The concert takes the audience on a journey made of delicate melodies and passionate outbursts, where the violin sings and the piano responds with enveloping harmonies. A sound encounter capable of uniting virtuosity and poetry, offering authentic emotions.
April 3, 2026 | The Fire
Film by Giovanni Pastrone | Live music by Ludovico Bellucci
Curated by Estemporanea
A masterpiece of Italian silent cinema comes to life in a unique sensory experience. “The Fire,” directed by Giovanni Pastrone in 1916, tells a burning and destructive love, symbolizing the tension between art and life. The film screening is accompanied by an original soundtrack performed live by Ludovico Bellucci, blending contemporary writing and improvisation in an intense dialogue with the images. The result is an emotional narrative in which music becomes the inner voice of the characters, amplifying the nuances of desire, jealousy, and passion. A meeting between past and present, between cinema and music, that restores the unrepeatable magic of live performance.
April 17, 2026 | Concert in White
Curated by Estemporanea
Luciano Meola (clarinet), Sergio Lamberto (violin), Massimo Bairo (violin), Federico Carraro (viola), Eduardo dell’Oglio (cello)
Like every year, the cycle of seasons brings back the light, transforming the hall into a light opalescent bubble, electing the color white as a tradition for all participants. The love for a twenty-year-old Anton Webern's future wife is the essence that opens the concert, from anguish to serenity, in a youthful and rare post-Brahmsian tonal and romantic dimension in the Langsamer Satz for string quartet, WoO 6. From love to crystalline beauty with a pure Mozartian gem: the quintet for clarinet and strings KV581, which enchants for its balance and formal perfection, demonstrating once again the timeless magic of classical music.
April 24, 2026 | Trio Str@vagante
Curated by Estemporanea
Alberto Barletta (flute), Elisa Parodi (flute), Fabio Storino (cello).
The 2026 season closes with the Trio Str@vagante, a refined formation composed of two flutes and cello, born from the artistic meeting of three exceptional performers: Alberto Barletta, first flute of the National Symphony Orchestra of RAI, Elisa Parodi, flutist active internationally, and Fabio Storino, cellist of the National Symphony Orchestra of RAI. A sound journey that unites European cultured tradition with modern sensitivity, offering the audience a concert of extraordinary timbral elegance, where each instrumental voice breathes and merges with the others in a transparent and poetic texture. The Trio Str@vagante represents the most authentic example of chamber music as encounter and dialogue: three different personalities that, while maintaining their own identity, merge into a single musical gesture, offering listeners a bright, vibrant, and profoundly moving season finale.
