Roberta Di Mario

Ala is one of the names by which the grand piano is defined, not only because of the similarity of the silhouette, but because the instrument always seems to be on the verge of transforming and taking flight. If the final purpose of music is the relief of the soul, with the strength of this "Wing", Roberta di Mario takes a flight of keys, involving us in an intimate and free adventure, a changeable flight, with furious piano surges accompanied by soft descents, which crosses space, time and resonances, all to celebrate the Piano, a lover now faithful now capricious,  inextricably linked with those who play it." "Ala" is a composite concert, where references to the purest classical piano literature of the giants J.S.Bach and F.F.Chopin meet the unpublished musical work of the composer, who draws and creates from the tradition from which she comes, to push herself towards her most contemporary sound. A continuous oscillation between tradition and modernity, in which virtuosity is not a goal, but an instrument to achieve new sonorities, timbre and soul finesse.
