MUSIC AND SPACES
The music programme of the concert is ispired by Refettorio Palladiano of Giorgio Cini Foundation.
In this concert, through the piece of Golijov we can appreciate the art of revisiting and interpreting in a contemporary key the masterpieces of the past without, however, wanting to replace them, just as the Adam Lowe’s piece reinterpret the Nozze di Cana of Paolo Veronese in the Refettorio Palladiano. Starting from the Leçons de tenébres of François Couperin, Golijov builds this masterpiece rich in spiritual tension.
In 1797 the French army commissioners of the Napoleonic army took the big canvas of Le Nozze di Cana painted by Paolo Veronese as spoils of war from the refectory of the Benedictine monastery. In 2007, Le Nozze di Cana, reproduced in a “second original” by the British artist Adam Lowe with sophisticated reproduction techniques in a 1:1 scale, “returned” in their original location: the Cenacolo Palladiano on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
This project is a challenge to the theory of the aura decay: the creation of a copy of the original, that is physically and esthetically perfect and its placement in the location in which the original was conceived for, is intended as an operation of global restoration of the monumental complex of San Giorgio Maggiore.
Before the concert, at 5 pm, it will be possible to take part in a guided tour of the monumental complex of San Giorgio Island, ending at the Refettorio Palladiano.
