Birthday Celebrations!

Continued from page 1 collaboration of the Ligurians in the World - New York Chapter and the Allegro con Moto Association of Savona, Italy.

The July 7 concert is dedicated to opera singer Demetrio “Danny” Meduri who rests in Maple Grove Cemetery. Born in Italy in 1890, who emigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900s, tenor Meduri went on to perform in many opera houses and in touring companies and was a friend of Enrico Caruso.

The July 9 concert can be watched in attendance and streamed. Info and tickets here: musae.me/elenabuttiero/ experiences/1434/the-divine

A research study in the musicological field led the pianists Buttiero and Frumento to discover the score “The Divine Comedy for piano four hands” by Cesare San Fiorenzo, original for piano four hands. The score, forgotten for more than 100 years, offers extraordinary and evocative melodies very close to the operatic world of the great composer Giuseppe Verdi. The two musicians developed a strong bond of friendship and often met in the city of Genoa. The program includes a transcription of Opera arias by Verdi taken from Rigoletto and Trovatore and a Sonatina by Manzino, a composer from Savona, the city where the two pianists live.

In 2022 Elena and Anita recorded the San Fiorenzo’s Divine Comedy in the CD entitled “Non sembiava imagine che tace.”
