On Nov. 14, 2021, the Accademia Filarmonica Romana is set to honor Ivan Vandor.

The organization will perform a program of music by the composer, who was also a recognized saxophone player, musicologist, researcher, teacher, and was very involved with the Accademia. Vandor died in 2020 and as a result, the academy will honor him with the Contempoartensemble performing his works under the musical direction of Vittorio Ceccanti.

Audiences will also get a chance to hear the voice of soprano Alda Caiello, who is well-known for her interpretations of contemporary repertoire.

Among Vandor’s pieces on the program are “Impromptu Miniature (2020)” for solo cello, “Violino Solo” for violin, “Quartetto con clarinetto (2020),” “In memoriam Tadeusz Moll (2007),” and “Un Canto* (2020)” for contralto.
