Program note:
“25 gennaio” (per quartetto d’archi), che sarà eseguito questa sera, brano dedicato agli eventi della rivoluzione egiziana. L’epigrafe del brano recita: “We are the dreamers dreaming, the facebook millions streaming, for a new Egypt fair, met with thousands in the square.” Ad un certo punto del brano un ritmo marcato e ripetuto è facilmente identificabile da un orecchio egiziano come il canto della folla del 25 gennaio che chiede la rimozione del regime di Moubarek.
