We invite you to two special Saturday evenings in the heart of Manhattan, where the intimate setting of the Hungarian House of New York will host brilliant Italian programs — from Verdi and Schubert to Piazzolla, Morricone, James Bond themes and Neapolitan songs.
❤️From Italy with Love❤️
📅 Saturday, April 11 & Saturday, April 25, 2026
📍 The Hungarian House of New York, 213 East 82nd Street, New York, NY 10028
On both evenings guests will enjoy a Welcome Reception with champagne and food before the concert, world‑class live performances at close range, photos, autographs and the chance to meet the artists in person.
On Saturday, April 11, Hungarian House welcomes back to New York the award‑winning Duo "Con Brio!" from Milan — ✅Alessandro Mauriello (cello) and ✅Angela Ignacchiti (piano) — together with the Founder of the festival "From Italy with Love", pianist ✅Michael Bulychev‑Okser.
The 50‑minute program will feature Giuseppe Verdi’s Preludio from I masnadieri, Schubert’s beloved Arpeggione, a Lied by Felix Mendelssohn‑Bartholdy, Wildes Stuke by Sandra Conte (written for cellist Alessandro Mauriello), Richard Galliano’s Tango pour Claude, Astor Piazzolla’s iconic Oblivion and a “roller‑coaster‑like” Tarantella by David Popper.
On Saturday, April 25, the stage will be taken by the Italian Duo MultiVerso di Cerino — ✅Palma Di Gaetano (flute) and ✅Giordano Muolo (clarinet) — together with ✅Michael Bulychev‑Okser — presenting “The Cerino Multiverse”.
This 45‑minute program includes Black Carmen (variations on Bizet’s Carmen), Amamus Amadeus (transcriptions from Mozart’s operatic and non‑operatic themes), In spite of Joachim (after Rossini’s Barber of Seville), Morricordando (a tribute to Ennio Morricone), Melium Bondare (the most famous James Bond film themes by John Barry) and Napoletando — Neapolitan songs and music in Cerino’s unmistakable style.
Together, these two evenings continue the brilliant tradition of the festival “From Italy with Love”, uniting multiple musical universes — from opera and classic masterpieces to film scores and city folklore — while preserving what matters most: the living breath of acoustic instruments and the festive atmosphere that no recording can replace.
