Venice and Japan united through music<\/strong>, in a dialogue that bridges geographical and cultural distances to come together in the universality of sound. It is through this encounter that the historic organ of the Church of Sant\u2019Alvise<\/strong> has come back to life, entrusting its voice to Kinue Aota<\/strong>, principal organist of the Catholic Cathedral of Tokyo. A bridge between East and West<\/strong>, between a centuries-old musical tradition and new ways of listening, aimed at accompanying the rebirth of an instrument that is precious<\/strong> to Venice\u2019s artistic heritage. After many long years of silence, the organ of Sant\u2019Alvise, in Cannaregio<\/strong>, has begun to play once more. The inauguration took place on Wednesday, October 14, with a concert performed by Kinue Aota, a winner of numerous competitions<\/strong> who, throughout her career, has performed with orchestras, ensembles, and choirs. She maintains a busy concert schedule<\/strong> both in her home country and abroad and has served as a jury member in international organ competitions. Built in 1760 by Nicol\u00f2 Moscatelli<\/strong>, the organ in this Venetian church underwent ameticulous restoration<\/strong> that allowed for the recovery of its mechanical components, pipes, and tonal characteristics, thereby returning to the community an important piece of the city\u2019s artistic and musical heritage. The restoration, carried out by the Francesco Zanin firm of Codroipo<\/strong>, represents a significant step forward in the preservation of Venice\u2019s historic organs. Venice, in fact, is home to one of the most important collections of antique instruments in Europe, bearing witness to an organ-building tradition that reached particularly notable heights in the 18th century<\/strong>. Moscatelli trained in the workshop of Pietro Nacchini, one of the leading figures in the field during the 18th century, under whom he studied from 1738 to 1754. Other important figures emerged from the same school, including Gaetano Callido<\/strong>, who was destined to leave a profound mark on the city\u2019s musical history. The connection between the builder of the Sant\u2019Alvise organ and the church itself is further strengthened by their geographical proximity: Moscatelli\u2019s workshop was, in fact, located nearby, in Campo dei Mori<\/strong>. An old document indicates that, between 1754 and 1760, he himself built as many as nine organs<\/strong> \u201cin many parts of Terra Ferma, and also in Venice.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":110,"featured_media":22292,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2197],"tags":[3205,3445,3446,3443,3442,3444,1999],"class_list":["post-22371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crux-en","tag-cannaregio","tag-father-luciano-barbaro","tag-kinue-aota","tag-opening-ceremony","tag-restoration","tag-the-organ-of-santalvise","tag-venice"],"acf":{"categoria":[2197],"categoria_source":{"label":"Category","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":[{"term_id":2197,"name":"Crux","slug":"crux-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2197,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":23,"filter":"raw"}]},"sottotitolo_h2":"Kinue Aota inaugurated the return to music of the 18th-century organ in Cannaregio, which has been brought back to life after many years of silence thanks to a meticulous restoration that has allowed the city to reclaim this precious musical treasure","sottotitolo_h2_source":{"label":"Subtitle","type":"text","formatted_value":"Kinue Aota inaugurated the return to music of the 18th-century organ in Cannaregio, which has been brought back to life after many years of silence thanks to a meticulous restoration that has allowed the city to reclaim this precious musical treasure"},"immagini_principale":{"ID":22297,"id":22297,"title":"Organo S.
