On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition “Solid Senses” during Milan design week “Salone del Mobile”, GVM La Civiltà del Marmo presents the second edition of CARRARA IDOL Tuesday, April 8, 2014.
The event consists of an exclusive concert performance conceived by Gualtiero Vanelli, eclectic Tuscan entrepreneur descendant of a family of three generations involved in the business of marble, and David Bryan, keyboard player and co-founder of Bon Jovi.
David Bryan will be performing in Milan, in an impressive industrial space, playing a unique instrument: M-Piano, the amazing grand piano Steinway & Sons, around which was created a silhouette in precious marble that entirely surrounds it, giving very peculiar resonance to the sound of this instrument.
David Bryan will perform the best-known songs of his repertoire, re-arranged to enhance the characteristics of this precious piano and will be accompanied by an exceptional band, the same that will accompany him on his upcoming solo tour.
The David Bryan and Friends is: Matt O’Ree, lead guitar, Eric Safka, keyboards, John Hummel, drums, Scott Bennert, bass, Special Guest on sax.
The concert will be introduced by a performance of the Italian band from Tuscany VICE who will perform a new song, world premiere, written specifically for them by David Bryan. Presenter of the evening will be the italian showgirl Maddalena Corvaglia.
The event will be attended also by David Bryan’s fans and Bon Jovi Club Italia.
CARRARA IDOL is an artistic platform, designed by David Bryan in collaboration with Gualtiero Vanelli, which consists of a Special international tour – which will be composed of only three events – of the concert for M-Plan.
The first edition was held in Carrara in 2012, in the suggestive setting of one of the most spectacular and impressive marble quarries, the second edition will enliven the Fuori Salone in Milan in April and the third edition will be held in New York in the near future.
The M-Piano is the result of a refined and innovative engineering that uses cutting-edge technology and high craftsmanship, made by the GVM La Civiltà del Marmo, a genuine factory linked to the world of marble, founded with the goal of recreating in Carrara, around this stately old material, a new contemporary vitality, able to seamlessly combine the most advanced technology with the best traditional craftsmanship of the territory.
The M-Piano will be exhibited to the public in the Ventura living room, from 9 to 13 April 2014, as integration and completion of the exhibition that the new company Robot City – Italian Art Factory presents at the 2014 edition of Salone del Mobile: SOLID SENSES, special collection of marble decor, designed by Cini and Stefano Boeri, Stefano Giovannoni, Alessandro Mendini, Paolo Ulian, made in limited edition.
