The Italian singer Irene Amata’s concert at the New Morning on September 29 promises restraint rather than spectacle: a vocalist who favors expressive precision over grandstanding, backed by a sympathetic trio.
The set will lean heavily on Sembianze, her latest album, where Irene Amata explores musical chiaroscuro — spare arrangements, sinuous melodies and finely wrought lyrics.
From intimate ballads to more driven pieces, Sembianze creates an atmosphere both mysterious and accessible; it is a record of contained tension that reveals its strength in slowness and vocal inflection. Key tracks, including “Sembianze,” “Confined” and “Parlame di Te,” should form the concert’s dramatic core, yielding moments where restraint becomes vivid intensity.
The trio’s restraint complements Amata’s approach: their playing is remarkable in its understatement, never veering into showmanship.
Musicians
- Irene Amata: composer, arranger, songwriter, vocals
- Fady Farah: piano
- Maurizio Congiu: double bass
- JB Perraudin: drums
Program and atmosphere Expect a set focused on material from Sembianze, with likely a few rearranged covers, all delivered in a hushed, attentive atmosphere. This quartet format emphasizes interpretation and interplay rather than lavish arrangements — a concert for attentive listeners, where even silence matters.
