+Federico Ermirio

A nome di tutti i Soci della Sibelius Society Italia ricordiamo con stima e rimpianto l’amico FEDERICO ERMIRIO, fondatore del “Sibelius Festival – Golfo del Tigullio e Riviera”. Grazie all’infaticabile energia del M° Ermirio, i concerti e le conferenze organizzati all’interno di tale istituzione sono stati per anni un prezioso contributo alla conoscenza in Italia del grande compositore finlandese e delle sue opere.

We remember Federico Ermirio as a distinguished composer and a wonderful friend. Some years ago, he arranged a tour for our quintet Virtuosi di Finlandia: we should play four piano quintets on concerts in Milano, Genova and Alessandria. All four were composed by composers who had spent working sessions on the Ligurian Riviera: Theodore Antoniou, Ermirio himself, Elgar and Sibelius. Ermirio’s New piano quintet was called Tempo di Quintetto, and it had expression and atmosphere from different nuances and shades from alabastre. We miss Federico Ermirio very much!
