Inside And Outside: Italian Guitar Music 1904-1961 – Sergio Manolo Occhipinti

This programme brings together a rich and varied selection of Italian guitar works spanning nearly six decades. It explores music written both within the classical tradition—by figures linked to the so-called “Generazione dell’Ottanta”—and outside of it, by composers who engaged with the instrument from more personal or unconventional perspectives. The title reflects this duality: a dialogue between rootedness and innovation, between inherited forms and new sound worlds, charting a course through the evolving identity of the Italian guitar in the twentieth century.
