Cristina Donà
One of the most highly regarded singer-songwriters on the Italian music scene, a leading light and source of inspiration for new generations of musicians, she is stopping off at Castello Volante as part of a tour ahead of the release of her new album “deSidera”, bringing with her the wealth of experience gained over her twenty-four-year career. The show will feature previews of tracks from this latest album, alongside reworked versions of her classic repertoire. Minimalist versions will alternate with echoes of ‘prehistoric electronica’, offering another opportunity to appreciate the evocative power of Cristina’s voice and lyrics, blended with the surprising arrangements by Saverio Lanza.
