L'Orchestre philharmonique de Trente a confié la lecture d'une page magistrale du maestro à un spectaculaire quintette à vent de Santa Cecilia, retiré de l'orchestre-symbole de l'Italie - et ici soutenu par une jeune star du piano entièrement italienne comme Leonora Armellini - de Strawinski Nicolai Rimsky -Korsakov, peut-être encore vaguement expérimental, suivi d'un travail pleinement immergé dans la musique de chambre, même académique, de Ludwig Thuille, fidèle apôtre de la musique de chambre la plus parfaite incarnée par Johannes Brahms.

The wind quintet, equivalent in importance to the string quartet, represents for wind instruments the most complete formation in terms of sound and rich in repertoire. The idea of the group invited to Trento is to recreate all the richness of orchestral timbres with this small, but heterogeneous, formation, treasuring, in the executive moment, the experiences collected by the protagonists during the tours in the most important international halls, while leaving free space also to the strong individual personalities that characterize 'Italianness in the world', awarded in the most important competitions of instrumentalism for 'wood' and 'brass'.

Winner of the "Janina Nawrocka" prize at the F. Chopin Competition in Warsaw (October 2010), Leonora Armellini graduated at the age of 12 with Laura Palmieri and then perfected herself with Sergio Perticaroli at the Academy of S. Cecilia in Rome. He always draws great inspiration from the lessons with Lilya Zilberstein at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg and Marian Mika, with whom he deepens in particular the Chopinian repertoire. Leonora Armellini has given more than 300 concerts in venues such as Carnegie Weill Recital Hall in New York or Musashino Concert Hall in Tokyo. In so much activity he finds time to take care of chamber music too, demonstrating, as in the project presented in Trento, a very particular artistic sensitivity.
