First meeting on Wednesday, March 4 with Anna Lazzarini, who will talk about Jazz in 20th century classical music, followed by a piano performance by Ezio & Anna Lazzarini of two beautiful pieces illustrating the creative potential of encounters between these two music genres:  the Ebony concert by Igor Stravinsky and the Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin.

Second meeting: April 1, Anna Lazzarini will talk about the genesis and meaning of The Adoration of the Earth and The Sacrifice, the two parts of the ballet “The Rite of Spring” by Igor Stravinsky, interpreted on  four hands by pianists Ezio & Anna Lazzarini.
