Concert: Pippo Pollina & the Acustico Quartet

A leading figure in contemporary Italian music, Pippo Pollina returns with a new musical project steeped in poetry and humanity. Following his highly acclaimed performance for the audience at Les Dominicains in 2023, the Sicilian artist now unveils his artistic world through a particularly refined acoustic ensemble.

Accompanied by his Quatuor Acustico, he weaves his voice into a dialogue with the cello, clarinet, saxophone, piano, percussion, and guitar. This delicate instrumentation lends new depth to his songs and creates an intimate setting where the lyrics take center stage.

The concert draws heavily from *Fra guerra e pace*, his twenty-fifth album. In it, Pippo Pollina reflects on our times—their conflicts, divisions, and uncertainties—while affirming the need to preserve hope and brotherhood. The program also draws from more than forty years of creative work and a vast repertoire of Italian songs.

*La vita è bella così com’è* promises a sensitive journey through Pippo Pollina’s world, carried by elegant chamber music and the evocative power of his words. A rich concert where poetry, memory, commitment, and a deeply humanistic view of the world come together.
