The first event, scheduled for 12 January, is a guide to Mozart's Requiem, performed by the Santa Cecilia Orchestra and Choir conducted by Antonio Pappano.
Following on from the success of last year, PappanoinWeb -
promoted by the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and
Telecom Italia - is returning to the internet in an
eight-part series.
This edition's exclusive new feature are the four listening
guides that ensure viewers have all the preparatory
information they require for the four concerts streamed
live and available on demand until 31 December 2012.
Antonio Pappano himself is presenting one of these guides.
On Tuesday 24 January he'll be talking about Schubert's
Winterreise, offering his own impressions and getting
listeners ready for the 24 February concert featuring top
tenor Jan Bostridge, who will be performing Schubert's
masterpiece. Musicologist Giovanni Bietti presents the
other three guides.
PappanoinWeb is a further, important way to listen to music
offered by Santa Cecilia and Telecom Italia. The goal of
the project is to broaden the audience for music by
breaking down time- and location-related barriers, and to
bring together divergent groups of people by encouraging
classical music lovers to engage with leading-edge
technologies while introducing technology buffs to the
incredible musical treasures of centuries gone by.
In 2011, PappanoinWeb registered 350,000 visitors, over 3.5
million contacts and an average contact time of around 37
minutes, proving itself to be an innovative project capable
of catering to the needs of a particularly broad
audience.
Thanks to this groundbreaking approach, viewers around the
world enjoy great music free of charge from their own
computer or any other online device, and can share their
impressions and emotions live with other music lovers via a
chat facility available during the live broadcasts.
At 9 p.m. on Thursday 12 January at the Spazio Risonanze of
the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, musicologist
Giovanni Bietti presents the first lecture/Q&A prior to the
Monday 16 January (Sala Santa Cecilia at 9 p.m.) concert by
the Santa Cecilia Orchestra and Choir, conducted by Antonio
Pappano. The busy programme opens with Rossini's Symphony
from The Silken Ladder, followed by Haydn's Sinfonia
Concertante, and concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's
magnificent Requiem.
