The evening promises a rich variety of orchestral works performed by the professional orchestra, including one of three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Eric Satie, W.A. Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 12, and L. Janáek’s Idyll for String Orchestra.
The performance culminates as world-class tenor Pasquale Esposito delivers a rendition of the beloved Italian song "O Sole Mio." The song will be specially dedicated to Sophia Loren, who is anticipated to be in attendance. Ms. Loren stands as one of the most celebrated actresses in the international film industry. With a career that spans over six decades, she continues to captivate audiences with her enduring elegance and acting prowess. Esposito's tribute to Loren will be a highlight of the night, adding an extra layer of glamour and emotion to the event.
Maestro Ponti attests “potentially having my mother, Sophia Loren, in the audience makes this concert infinitely more special; her presence is not just inspiring—it truly enhances the magic of the music we create."
