Free Life on Earth is a fascinating program that combines the evocative sounds of Italian and Latin American music for flute and guitar. Inspired by Italian composer and cello player Giovanni Sollima's work of the same name, the program explores the themes of freedom, nature and human connection through a musical journey full of emotion and passion.

Italian compositions, such as the piece by Roberto Di Marino and Giovanni Sollima, evoke the beauty of nocturnal landscapes where melodic flute phrases intertwine with the enveloping harmonies of the guitar, creating an atmosphere of nostalgia and wonder.

Latin American songs celebrate the vibrancy and joy of a culture rich in rhythm and color. From Brazilian samba to Argentine tango, flute and guitar join in passionate dialogue, evoking images of dancing and celebration under the starry sky.

The program blends elements of the two musical traditions into a hymn to freedom and life on Earth in an emotional journey that invites reflection on the beauty of diversity.
