Nothing could be more natural, therefore, than that today Byzantine Ravenna turns into the capital city of the cello: from Thursday 16 to Sunday 19 June, Ravenna Festival hosts the 100 Cellos led by Giovanni Sollima and Enrico Melozzi. The map of <em>Celloland<\/em> consists of theatres, cloisters, and basilicas, and is populated by masters of the bow, such as Mario Brunello and Massimo Polidori, and young virtuosi. Who, in four days of events, put their instruments to the test by tackling rough terrains, dizzying heights, and incandescent mixtures: from a \u2018river concert\u2019 on whose waves they navigate straight into the heart of the night to the morning and evening<em> Disarming Concerts<\/em>, from improvisations on sacred themes under skies of mosaics to the great final concert in the sign of Prog-Rock with an extraordinary ally, the legendary PFM &#8211; Premiata Forneria Marconi.

For those who carry this instrument, an instrument that immediately makes a group because of its great ductility and that can interpret a very wide range of sounds, Ravenna is the ideal destination&#8217;. Six years have passed since the first adventure of Celloland in the city (and ten since the birth of the 100 Cellos in Rome, in the occupied Teatro Valle), but \u2018Celloland has remained in the hearts of all those who participated in the past,\u2019 <strong>says Enrico Melozzi<\/strong>, who shares the artistic direction of the project with Sollima, \u2018and we are grateful to the Festival for allowing us to return to a city that has managed to enhance our ideas, a city so culturally alive to be a source of pride for Italy and Europe\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><em>Disarming Concerts<\/em><\/strong> that will take place every day at 11 am and 7 pm, always in the National Museum with one exception, are a musical message in favour of global disarmament.
