The year that draws to a close delivers, in its final hours, that distillation of memories and images, satisfying assessments and some regret, unfulfilled expectations and unexpected surprises, with which each of us is to deal more or less willingly. Because the year that is going away brings with it an awareness of what has been and, at the same time, the impetus towards a new opportunity with the year to come.

The days between Christmas and New Year’s Day are different from all the other days of the year: an atmosphere of expectation and lively tension permeates every moment of that suspended parenthesis of time that separates the past from the future; what has been, and can no longer return, and what is still to come. And this vibrant time lights up to the rhythm of musical time.
With two concerts in Umbria, in Perugia and Spoleto, UmbriaEnsemble greets this long and difficult 2021 in beauty, wishing that the New Year will open under the benevolent star of a rediscovered harmony, serenity, joy and hope.

On Thursday 30 December, at 5.30 p.m., in the precious 17th-century Teatro Caio Melisso – Spazio Carla Fendi, with the support of the Municipality of Spoleto, UmbriaEnsemble will once again perform as a String Quartet in an original show, born of the collaboration with the Teodelapio Theatre School, which recounts – with music from the classical repertoire and original stories composed for the occasion by four Spoleto writers – the suspended atmosphere of the end-of-year festivities, with nostalgia and tenderness, irony and hope. A notebook of emotions, reflections, intentions, to dive together into the adventure of the New Year.
