GO returns with a new musical event!
On Sunday, June 15, Urban Cluster presents their debut album, Time Dancing on the Train to Baltimore. The work is inspired by a series of photographs taken during a train journey from Washington to Baltimore, evoking the emotions stirred by the changing landscapes through the seasons—told through the expressive power of music.
PS: At the end of the concert, Urban Cluster will give away 30 free albums to those who request one!
The Project:
Urban Cluster was born from the meeting of four musicians with very different backgrounds. Rino Trasi comes from the world of contemporary music and electronic experimentation; Emanuela Ferrari is a classical harpsichordist and pianist who later embraced jazz; Francesco Esposito is a clarinetist with years of orchestral experience and interpretative discipline; Paolo Ragni is a drummer with a wide-ranging background in rock, jazz, and commercial music.
Together, they have committed to a musical project that merges improvisation with diverse styles and approaches. While strongly rooted in jazz tradition, their work also draws from the polystylism of 20th-century music and contemporary classical trends, projecting them into the sonic worlds of rock and jazz. Urban Cluster's compositions are partly written, partly free-form, and partly based on cues that invite musical actions—often leading to surprising outcomes, even for the performers themselves. Their creative process results in intricate and deeply developed musical structures, telling long, emotionally rich stories in which every 20th-century language is employed for its expressive potential.
The films of two immense masters of the history of cinema offered at Giunti Odeon in splendid and extremely rare restored versions. We start with the 34 comedies interpreted and shot by Charlie Chaplin for the Keystone Company between 2 February and 7 December 1914. In less than twelve months Chaplin went from being an almost unknown vaudeville actor to a film star. He learnt to conceive, direct and edit his own films: just one year of whirlwind activity and a world taking shape, a character gradually taking possession of his own suit, a filmmaker conquering his place in front of and behind the camera. The Keystone comedies record, in real time, and with a dynamism, vitality and energy that are unrepeatable, the birth and evolution of one of the 20th century's most universal characters. It continues with three overwhelming masterpieces by Buster Keaton: ‘Cops’ (1922), ‘The High Sign’ (1921), ‘Neighbours’ (1921).
An extraordinary journey through the myths, masterpieces and legends of Hollywood cinema. From Keaton to Kubrick, from Welles to Coppola and Scorsese, at Giunti Odeon a series of documentaries, rich in footage and testimonials, on a century and more of American cinema: a compelling account of the greatest and most dazzling industry of dreams.
At Giunti Odeon a rich selection of films and documentaries on painting, visual arts and comics in the 20th century. This is a selection of very rare titles (with many experimental and artist films) - from the Cineteca di Bologna archive - dedicated to the life and works of Alberto Burri, Umberto Boccioni, Primo Conti, Giorgio De Chirico, Antoni Gaudì, Alberto Grifi, Hugo Pratt, Gino Rossi and many others.
