Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari: A Portrait in Words and Music

In collaboration with Lunigiana International Music Festival NYU Deutsches Haus Concert Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari A Portrait in Words and Music Narration by Federica Zagatti Wolf-Ferrari, stage director Music performed by musicians from Lunigiana International Music Festival Federica Venturi, soprano Cameron Pieper, piano Manhattan Piano Quintet: Jasmine Ogiste, piano Kaya Gur, violin I Caitlin Marshall, violin II Olympia Nelson, viola Chaehwan Lee, cello Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (1876–1948) was an Italian composer born in Venice to a German father and an Italian mother, a dual heritage that profoundly shaped his artistic identity. Trained in both countries, Wolf-Ferrari developed a distinctive musical language that combines Italian lyricism with German formal clarity. Widely celebrated during his lifetime, and particularly for his operas inspired by the tradition of commedia dell’arte, Wolf-Ferrari is increasingly recognized for his originality and his unique position at the crossroads of two major European musical cultures. The evening takes the form of a portrait in words and music, with narration by Federica Zagatti Wolf-Ferrari, who will trace an intimate portrait of the composer, his family, and the cultural and artistic life of Venice at the turn of the twentieth century. Through music and storytelling, the program offers insight into Wolf-Ferrari’s life, his aesthetic world, and the environment in which his artistic voice emerged on the 150th anniversary of his birth.
