Gli ALTI & BASSI<\/strong>
\n“THE AMERICAN MYTH”
\nwith the SANREMO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
\nConducted by Maestro Ernesto Colombo<\/p>\n

The concert is an “a cappella” journey into early 20th century American music tied to gospel, jazz, swing, and the great Cinema. A path that starts with gospel and spiritual songs, traverses the great authors of the ’30s, and develops by intersecting musicals from George Gershwin to Leonard Bernstein up to the ’50s, also considering the influence of American music and swing on some of our composers. Finally, it reaches Cinema with some unforgettable songs associated with Walt Disney cartoons and the movie “Saturday Night Fever” from the late ’70s. All through original and fun arrangements written specifically for the \u201cAlti e Bassi\u201d a cappella vocal quintet.<\/p>\n
