“Towards Venice” or towards the sea, towards the city, towards the music and towards the spirits that mix. It is the fascinating theme of the concert to be held on Saturday October 1st at 4.30 pm at the Lo Squero Auditorium on the island of S. Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. “Towards Venice” is a journey that leads into music and mixology: it connects the emotion of listening to a concert by Antonio Fresa at the piano with the pleasure of a cocktail at the San Giorgio Café as part of the Venice Cocktail Week.

Antonio Fresa will play some songs from Vertical plane and the music composed for the audio guides of the Vatican Chapelsof the Borges labyrinth he was born in Museum of the Treasure of San Gennaro. Fresa transports the viewer in a succession of notes that become images: an evocative music which has roots in Eurocult music, jazz, minimal music and songwriting.

Towards the sea, the city, the music and towards the spirits that mix

Antonio Fresa, pianist, composer, arranger, producer and author of music for the cinema (nominated for the David di Donatello and the Nastri d’Argento as best musician for “Gatta Cenerentola”), it is very linked to the Island of San Giorgio. A place full of spirituality, created by nature and shaped by historywhich inspired his project “A soundtrack experience“: a soundtrack to fully savor a unique place in the world. Fresa narrated the Borges Labyrinth in music, one of the places on the Island of San Giorgio that exerts the greatest charm on visitors, considered one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy; and the Vatican Chapels, the ten Vatican chapels of the Giorgio Cini Foundation.

“Verso Venezia” will be with a concert structured in three parts e connects the three movements of the executions – the journey, the seaside town and the art of mixing, understood as a skilful combination of spirits – to three special cocktails that can be tasted at the San Giorgio Café after the concert: “An American in Venice”, “Mar (e) tini” and “Equilibria”.

In the evocative concert on Saturday 1 October Antonio Fresa will also perform the music composed for the audioguide of the Museum of the Treasure of San Gennaro of Naples and some compositions from his record “Vertical plane”. An enveloping music, a world of ideas whispered by black and white keys that tell a cinematic journey made of classical and contemporary influences, of minimal music and jazz fragments.

The Squero of the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, an ancient boat repair shop dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, has become a modern and evocative auditorium and won the 2017 Torta Prize. The restoration of the structure, promoted by Giorgio Cini Foundation and created with the contribution of the Interregional Superintendency for Public Works of Veneto, Trentino Alto Adige, Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Virginio Bruni Tedeschi Foundation, has transformed this space into a modern concert hall with 200 seats; thanks to its exceptional acoustics and its privileged position directly overlooking the lagoon, “Lo Squero” is a unique space that perfectly matches music and image. In front of the stalls, the glass walls – like natural backdrops – open an extraordinary glimpse of the lagoon, offering the spectator the opportunity to experience the unique experience of a concert “on the water’s edge”. The auditorium was set up with the support of: an anonymous benefactor, the Venice Foundation, Melissa Ulfane.
