Margherita Bono was Nicolò Spera's high-school best friend. She passed away unexpectedly last December. Faced with the impossibility of altering the course of events, Nicolò Spera dedicates his playing and this concert to honor her life. The featured guitar music conveys stories of her uniqueness and the enduring nature of their friendship. Nicolò Spera hopes to raise awareness of the stigmatized topic of mental health and suicide, and encourages everyone to engage within their local communities to make a lifesaving impact.
The performance will feature new works by Filippo Del Corno, Nicola Jappelli, Corrado Margutti and Johann Sebastian Bach’s "Chaconne" on a 10-string guitar.
