Benedetta Zamboni (1993) – Generazione (first performance)
Starting from the re-elaboration of some chords taken from the Kyrie of Bruckner’s «Grosse Messe», the piece goes through the mystery of a generation that takes place in secret, in the intimate depth. The effort that accompanies it, but also the abandonment of letting oneself be shaped, becomes a continuous dialogue between voices, until they are recomposed in the watermark of a single melody.
Alexander Borodin (1833-1887) – String Quartet in D major n. 2
I. Allegro moderato II. Scherzo. Allegro III. Notturno. Andante IV. Finale. Andante
Borodin dedicated the quartet to his wife Jekaterina.

CRISTINA TRIVULZIO DI BELGIOJOSO
Born in Milan on June 28, 1808, Cristina lived in the middle of the Italian Risorgimento. In 1829 she became a political activist in the female section of the Carboneria. A few years later, she lived in exile, getting in touch with the Italian Liberation Council in Marseille in 1831. In 1832 she opens in Paris one of the major cultural salons of the time and, back in Italy, participates in the insurrections of Milan and Rome in 1848-49. As a social activist, she built kindergartens, schools, communal kitchens, and homes for peasants in Locate, and created and directed the Military Ambulances (proto Red Cross) in besieged Rome. Her contribution as a writer, journalist and publisher was also very important. From 1845 she founded newspapers and periodicals that she directed between France and Italy. Great traveler and entrepreneur, she created a farm in Cappadocia in 1850 and made a journey of the Middle East up to Jerusalem in 1852.

BENEDETTA ZAMBONI, composer
Benedetta Zamboni (1993) approaches the expressive language of music at a very young age, beginning to compose as a self-taught musician on her home piano. In 2010 she began studying composition with Andrea Portera at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole. In these years he has developed several works, and obtained performances and commissions for various ensembles, dealing with both chamber ensembles and orchestras and symphonic orchestras. Finalist at the national competition Veretti (2015), she received a commission as guest composer on the occasion of the concert of August 2nd in Bologna (2017).
In 2017 she is awarded within the same competition with a commission from the Orchestra Antonio Vivaldi (2018), and she achieves with full marks the first level degree in Architecture with a thesis on the relationship between music and architectural composition. Deepening the relationship between music and space, in 2020 she concludes with honors the two-year Master of Architecture at the University of Florence. She is currently pursuing her musical research in the context of the Master in Liturgical Music at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute S. Anselmo in Rome. Her interests include the notion of time and space in music with particular reference to the tradition of liturgical music, from Gregorian chant to Arve Pärt.
The composer was selected by Fabio Vacchi for the project Cristina Trivulzio di Belgiojoso.
