NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCED BY VALENTINA SCHELDHOFEN CIARDELLI

May 8, 2024, Valentina Scheldhofen Ciardelli, Anaïs Drago, and Riccardo Angelo Strano will doing a concert entitled “Shake Your Duty” at the Casa Del Jazz in Rome, Italy, where they will be presenting their debut album.

• Valentina Scheldhofen Ciardelli – double bass, choirs, compositions and arrangements
• Anaïs Drago – violin, choirs, compositions and arrangements
• Riccardo Angelo Strano – countertenor

The repertoire proposed by the Ciardelli-Drago-Strano trio is a tribute to the art of Frank Zappa, who made irreverence his stylistic signature, but also includes pieces from the baroque and classical era and original pieces composed by Ciardelli and Drago.

The trio mocks the trappings of the academic world and those who still protect the bastion of "serious music", instead offering a different point of view, in which different techniques, styles and harmonies can coexist and enrich each other.

The listeners who are most passionate about progressive rock and contemporary classical music will not be disappointed, as will the great lovers of classical music more accustomed to the rounded sounds of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Alessandro Scarlatti.

The concert is the presentation event of the trio's debut album, "Shake your Duty", out in May on the Parco della Musica Records label
