Orient Express – A Musical Journey with the Filarmonici Friulani Youth Orchestra
with Romano Vecchiet
and the Filarmonici Friulani Youth Orchestra
original music by Matteo Sarcinelli
The charm of a legendary train, the Orient Express, comes alive in this narrated concert where the history of the early twentieth century intertwines with the complex geography of Europe.
Historian Romano Vecchiet, one of Italy’s leading experts on the history of railways, will guide the audience through a fascinating journey across borders, peoples, secret services and mysteries along one of the most iconic trains of all time, the Paris–Istanbul line, made famous by countless films and literary works.
The orchestra will accompany the narration with some of the most celebrated railway-themed pieces (a surprisingly popular subject among composers between the 19th and 20th centuries) and with a few incursions into folk music, recreating on stage the timeless allure of the Belle Époque.
Concert included in the 2025/2026 ERT Season in Lignano Sabbiadoro.
