The IX Festival di Sant’Efisio at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari continues, on Friday 8th May at 8.30pm (session A) and Saturday 9th May at 7pm (session B), with a concert which is part of the 2008-2009 Concert Season.

The Teatro Lirico di Cagliari commissioned the opening piece, performed for the first time: Gli occhi che si fermano, by the young composer Francesco Antonioni. The other pieces will include performances by the exceptional soloists: the violinist Sayaka Shoji, the soprano Doriana Milazzo and the narrating voice is that of the young actor Claudio Gioè from Palermo.

The musical programme includes: Gli occhi che si fermano (first ever performance of the piece commissioned by the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari) by Francesco Antonioni; Concerto N. 2 for violin and orchestra B minor “La campanella” Op. 7 by Niccolò Paganini; Egmont Op. 84 by Ludwig van Beethoven
