Classical music concerts in Southern Italy railway stations

FS Italiane, founding partner of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, launches "Tempo Binario" from July 15 to 17, 2022. Five orchestra professors perform in stations of Palermo, Taormina, Reggio Calabria Lido, Lamezia Terme, and Salerno, traveling on two historic trains: Gran Comfort and Arlecchino. The quintet includes Adriana Ferreira (flute), Francesco Di Rosa (oboe), Guglielmo Pellarin (horn), Alessandro Carbonare (clarinet), and Francesco Bossone (bassoon). They give 15-minute performances at stations and 45-minute concerts at Messina (aboard Nave Iginia) and Reggio Calabria (lungomare Falcomatà). Repertoire includes works by Haydn, Ibert, Briccialdi, Rossini, and Gershwin. On July 15, the Orchestra dell'Accademia, directed by Myung-Whun Chung, begins a tour at Teatro Greco di Taormina, followed by Sferisterio di Macerata (July 21) and Villa Rufolo in Ravello (July 23). The initiative showcases restored historic trains and symbolizes FS Group's investments in Southern Italy under the PNRR and 2022-2031 Industrial Plan.
