Un rave classico

Talking about raves and classical music sounds like a contradiction in terms, but when it comes to the eclectic conductor and multi-instrumentalist Enrico Melozzi, anything is possible. At the head of a mega-group made up of his own Orchestra Notturna Clandestina (a symphonic group featuring exceptional international soloists from a variety of musical backgrounds), some classical ensembles selected through a public call, and special guest Niccolò Fabi, whom he recently accompanied in a concert at the Arena di Verona, Melozzi, known to Ravenna Festival audiences as the leader of the 100 Cellos, will be hosting a long “classical rave”, an all-night marathon from dusk to dawn, with the aim of popularising Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, who are perhaps not too far removed from the tastes of the young.
