# Event Details - **Event Name**: Flavio Villani presents Memoria: Echoes and Transformations - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am – Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am - **Event Description**: Memoria: Echoes & Transformations unites classical and original music in an evening of reflection, renewal, and subtle emotional transformation. Pianist Flavio Villani presents a programme exploring how sound carries memory, reshapes emotion, and reveals new inner landscapes through its unfolding arcs. Programme: Bach-Busoni - Chaconne in D minor In Memoriam Suite Brahms - Rhapsody Op.79 n.1 Brahms - Intermezzi Op.117 Cesar Franck - Prelude, Choral et Fugue The first half pairs the vast emotional arc of Bach–Busoni’s Chaconne with the intimate reflections of Villani’s In Memoriam Suite, shaped during a period of personal introspection. The second half moves toward Brahms’s Rhapsody Op.79 n.1—fiery, searching, and full of momentum—and his Intermezzi Op.117, described by the composer as “the lullabies of my sorrows”, before arriving at the spiritual architecture and luminous resolution of Franck’s Prélude, Choral et Fugue. Each work listens to what came before, creating an unfolding journey through longing, renewal, and the quiet transformations that emerge through sound. Memoria: Echoes & Transformations offers an evening shaped by memory, imagination, and the gradual re-alignment of the inner world—where music unfolds not only as expression, but as a form of listening, understanding, and transformation.
