llMl;l_Y CELEBRATION PARTIAL TO PAGANINI RSAMD, City Halls, Glasgow, Wed 15—Sat 18 Mar
With the multitude of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart, and Bartok’s 125th close behind, it is easy to forget that there are other important dates in the music world worth making a bit of a fuss over. One is the 175th anniversary of the legendary virtuoso violinist and composer Nicolo Paganini’s visit to Glasgow. Performing on the world famous il Cannone violin, made in 1742 in Cremona, he stunned audiences with his playing and wild looks, further fuelling the rumours that he had made a pact with the Devil in exchange for his genius.
In commemoration of his visit and the remarkable return of Paganini’s violin to Glasgow, the RSAMD, in collaboration with Glasgow Cultural Enterprises, hosts a festival inspired by this extraordinarily gifted musician — Partial to Paganini. The Academy’s Head of Strings, Peter Lissauer, says ‘Paganini was the first great travelling virtuoso and the Festival is a celebration of string playing and instrument making. It’s very important for people to realise how instruments are made.’
Twelve events covering orchestral music, chamber music, strings masterclasses and a Sally Beamish commission will be held at the RSAMD alongside a free exhibition by instrument makers and culminating in a City Halls performance by the Scottish Ensemble with ex-Artistic Director Clio Gould performing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on Paganini's il Cannone violin. The rare outing from its Genoa home is thanks to the efforts of Glasgow Lord Provost, Liz Cameron. And thanks to Paganini himself who had pawned his previous violin to repay gambling debts and, when loaned il Cannone, liked it so much that he didn’t bother returning it to the rightful owner. If you want to have a look (but not a play, obviously), the instrument is on display at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, 16—18 March.
