"Three cowboys come galloping in a desert village. 
They Stop. Only the wind, the sun and the empty houses to welcome them. 
A light noise of voices is coming from the saloon and they decide to go there. 
Climbed the stairs of wood, crossed the threshold, 
  they discover a new world. "


"Salooon" is a show planned and structured for the Trio by Barbara, desiring to offer the audience a panorama of contemporary Italian music in a new way: this is not just a concert or a live electronics show, it's the staging of different compositions which, connected and commented by an electronic music base, create with their sequence an imaginary story. 
"Salooon" is the adventure of three cowboy/musicians in the vast Wild West of the contemporary Italian music, it'is the story of the artistic encounter of Trio with some composers, who wanted to express themself by writing for strings.


The saloon is borderland, where you can meet and clash of different personalities, which
often happened to be in the same place only for relaxing and taking a drink, while a piano in the background plays easy music for fun. 
Equally, during the concert,
composers both young and established, sharply contrasting in style, alternate on stage through their music; works of a remarkable intellectual level are introduced by transcriptions for string trio of the most famous rag times of Scott Joplin. Do not miss even the electronic music, since the executive intention, despite the light frame, is to modernize the classical music programs for enhancing and supporting the creativity of those who today, after centuries of music masterpieces, still choose the difficult path of composition.

Here the list of the composers and their works:

Zeno Baldi - Room 21

Giovanni Bertelli - Contra-dance
