Julia Zilberquit Performance at Mozart Evenings Festival Draws Standing Ovations in Italy
Julia Zilberquit on stage of Teatro Marrucino at the Mozart Evenings concert From the 25th of May to the 4th of June 2025, the Italian city of Chieti, in the country's picturesque Abruzzo region, marked the much-anticipated return of Mozart Evenings, a grand festival celebrating the rich legacy and musical genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Organised by Konstantin Ishkhanov, its President, in collaboration with Artistic Director Giuliano Mazzoccante, this event marked the second edition of the festival, which has quickly established itself as a staple entry in the cultural calendar of the region. Hosted at the historic Teatro Marrucino, which has been named as one of Italy's Theatres of Tradition since 2003, this 2025 edition of Mozart Evenings featured a total of five classical concerts, bringing together a stunning lineup of international soloists, conductors, and orchestras in a celebratory homage to one of the greatest composers in Western music, including amongst them the celebrated US pianist Julia Zilberquit. Julia Zilberquit with the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan on stage of Teatro Marrucino A graduate of the Juilliard School, Zilberquit has earned critical acclaim as a recitalist, chamber musician and recording artist, being praised by the New York Times as 'an outstanding soloist' after one of her performances at Carnegie Hall. She has also performed at the 92nd Street Y, and the Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, to mention a few, and has appeared at many major international music festivals including events in Seattle, Colmar (France), Klangbogen (Vienna), the Bard Music Festival in New York, and the Penderecki Festival (Poland). 'Mozart is of course a genius of all times', said Zilberquit, 'and I don't know what the world of classical music would be without him, I cannot imagine it! I'm so happy to be performing here in Chieti in this wonderful amazing Teatro Marrucino, and to be presenting this particular concerto – the Concerto in A minor No. 23, K. 488. In my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful piano concertos, not only from Mozart's oeuvre, but of all time, especially its second movement. It's very sad and very profound, and I think I'm lucky and we're lucky to be in the presence of such a genius piece tonight.' In addition to Zilberquit, the festival's concerts were headlined by such luminaries as pianists Cyprien Katsaris (Greece), Giuliano Mazzoccante (Italy), and Arsenii Moon (France), violinists Davide Alogna (Italy), Karen Shahgaldyan (Armenia), and Anna Tifu (Italy), clarinetist Vicente Alberola (Spain), flautist Tommaso Benciolini (Italy), and violist Giuseppe Russo Rossi (Italy). Moreover, audiences in Italy were also able to witness the talents of the AYSO Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan, who took to the stage under the direction of several acclaimed conductors, including Luis Andrade (Portugal), Alibek Kabdurakhmanov (Uzbekistan), Gianluca Marcianò (Italy), and Teresa Satalino (Italy). 'I'm very happy to have had the chance to work with the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan', Zilberquit added. 'It's a great experience, it was my first time collaborating with them, and with Maestro Gianluca Marcianò as well. We've known each other for a very, very long time, and we have always discussed working together, and today, this finally happened, so I'm very happy about that!' Through this remarkable gathering of artistic excellence, Mozart Evenings continued to fulfil its goal of honouring the rich legacy of the Austrian composer, while also celebrating Chieti's musical heritage and its role as a cultural hub for the region. Commenting about the organisation of the festival, Zilberquit took the time to highlight the work being carried out by the duo who spearheaded the event, stating that 'I have worked with Mr Konstantin Ishkhanov and Maestro Giuliano Mazzoccante several times, and it is always a great experience. The organisation is great, it's always top notch! We've done things together in Malta, we've done things together in Dubai, and I'm especially happy to be in Chieti because I was supposed to perform a solo concert here in the spring of 2020, and then the Covid-19 pandemic started. So, of course, this concert did not happen, but five years later here we are!' From left to right: Gianluca Marcianò, Julia Zilberquit, Konstantin Ishkhanov, Arsenii Moon Having met with widespread acclaim from the crowds that packed the sold-out Marrucino Theatre throughout its run, Mozart Evenings now turns its gaze towards the future once again, as Konstantin Ishkhanov looks to continue to bring the very best of classical music, presented by the top musicians of our time, to the stunning streets of Chieti for many more years to come.

Summer Outfits So Chic, You'll Want to Copy Them All
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Don't look now, but summer is here, which means the time has come to showcase your hot-weather style with some fresh 'fits. Whether you plan to hit the beach with your crew or stay in with the A/C blasting, there's no reason you can't do it wearing something cute. If inspiration is lacking, you're in luck, I found the best casual summer outfit ideas out there, inspired by major celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner and street style mavens alike. Stick to basics with an airy sundress and summer sandals or perhaps—if you're feeling newly inspired by the NBA playoffs—opt for something sporty like a summer tracksuit and heels. At the end of the day, a cute outfit can make all the difference (at least, that's what I believe!). Check out the stylish summer outfits you can all season long, below. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and a baby tee. Take notes from Kendall Jenner, who accessorized this classic combo with loafers and a baseball cap for an effortlessly cool and casual look you can wear on repeat. Jean shorts and summer just go together, and what better time to wear your favorites? Throw on your trusty Adidas Sambas, like Hailey Bieber, and your go-to denim jacket for when the temps start to dip, and you're set. Take a page from Bella Hadid and tap into the Western trend. Center your outfit around a pair of chic cowboy boots, and then style them with a fun graphic tee and cutoff shorts. You'll have a trend-worthy outfit ready in no time. Don't feel obligated to dress up if you're planning to lay low this summer. Sometimes, a sweatshirt and comfy sweatpants are the move. A monochromatic look like this one from Jennifer Lopez still looks put-together and elevated, even when you're in a loungewear set. I anticipate no regrets. An all-black ensemble is perfect for any occasion, including a barbecue or picnic. A romantic dress and ballet flats paired with a dainty necklace come together for an ensemble fit for a daytime outing. Feeling like a woman on the move? A lightweight tracksuit is just what's in order. And if you want to give it a fashion-girl twist, style it with this season's trending aviator sunglasses and a pair of metallic sandals. Sports jerseys are trending for summer—and if you're looking for an unexpected way to style yours, consider a cute bubble skirt. Spice things up with metallic accessories, and I guarantee you'll be primed for a post on the grid. For something that feels casual but still elevated, consider a fitted cardigan paired with Bermuda shorts. Polished details like ballet flats and a leather designer bag will take things up a level. Nothing beats the heat quite like a sundress, which makes it a great option for your summer uniform. It's easy, effortless, and chic—not to mention versatile. Wear it to dinner alfresco or for your neighborhood barbecue. This is a staple that can be as dressed up or down as you want it. No doubt, a long black skirt is the most underrated MVP of your everyday wardrobe. For a go-to look, you can wear again and again, opt for a denim jacket, a classic white T-shirt, and easy flats (like the ones shown here, in the ever-popular butter yellow hue). It's a classy and casual look that'll work for nearly any summer occasion.

At Sante Fe's Native American Fashion Week, It's 'Not Just About Style, It's About Presence.'
Relative Arts NYC runway Tira Howard "Native people are still here. We always have been. But too often, this country acts like we're not. That erasure doesn't just happen in textbooks. It happens on runways, in museums, in the media and in fashion houses," says Amber Dawn, founder of Native Fashion Week. Though Indigenous practices, cultural values, and art have long been marginalized and forcibly distanced from the Western mainstream, the emergence of an Indigenous Fashion Week asserts its' presence, and keeps the culture very much alive. In Santa Fe, over the course of four days filled with fashion, panels, and parties, Native Fashion Week opened at the Santa Fe Railyard, a clever homage to Native peoples' complicated history with the railroad systems built throughout the 19th century. These tracks remain symbolic of colonization, territorial expansion, environmental devastation, and cultural erasure. During the event's opening, 'Runway on the Rails,' designers Nonamey and Ayimach Horizons previewed snippets of their collections aboard the Sky Railway during a two-hour ride into the desert. From this moment, it became clear: the clothes showcased throughout the week would be less about craftsmanship or spectacle, and more about storytelling and history. Runways to Rils Tira Howard "Native Fashion Week is not just about style. It's about presence. About pushing back on invisibility with creativity, excellence, and joy," says Amber Dawn. She continues, "Unlike the common theme in the US, which are featuring Indigenous designers in museums and making us out to exclusively be of times past, we're building a platform for the future. The exposure of modern Indigenous design is so important to this work." For Dawn, a feeling of erasure, even from runways, has happened for Indigenous culture. "Native Fashion Week Santa Fe is a reclamation of space. A space where Indigenous designers lead. And it's happening here in Santa Fe, a city that already holds a reputation for art, culture and storytelling," she says. "This is about bringing new eyes and new energy to Santa Fe. Fashion editors, buyers, stylists, celebrities, photographers, major industry figures from places like New York, LA, and beyond." One of the key figures and new eyes paying attention was CFDA CEO Steven Kolb. 'Coming to Native American Fashion Week has given me the chance to step into the community and get a sense of Indigenous culture and Native design,' Kolb said. While the CFDA currently has no plans to provide funding for Santa Fe's Native Fashion Week, Kolb emphasized, 'We can bring knowledge, advice, connections, and awareness, we want to create visibility for this within the greater fashion world.' Native American Fashion Week Tira Howard Outside of Warehouse 21, a large event space in Santa Fe, Korina Emmerich wrapped up her runway show, which featured large tassels, tribal prints, and earthy tones. 'This collection was called Seeds, and was based on the concept of 'they tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds.'' She continues, 'I wanted to focus on reinvigoration and reclamation of Indigenous culture, I used orange a lot to bring attention to Orange Shirt Day and boarding schools. Every Native person knows someone who went to those boarding schools, so I wanted to bring attention to that.' Possibly the most memorable piece was a closing statement of rebellion: a dress made out of the Palestinian flag. 'I think it's important that we keep paying attention to what's happening in Palestine, in Gaza, as they keep blocking out the news. It's an act of genocide, and it's something we [Native people] have also gone through.' Native American DFashion Week Tira Howard Emmerich, who says she was 'working on her collection until the very last minute,' draws inspiration from her heritage: the Palouse people of Washington state. She credits her father, an art teacher, as her biggest inspiration, encouraging her to embrace both her Indigenous identity and creativity. 'The first dress I made was my jingle dress for my powwow regalia, and I think a lot about putting stories into the clothing. For me, it's about storytelling more than it is about commerce.' 'Growing up, we didn't see any Native fashion designers besides Dorothy Grant, so how did you know it's a possibility if you don't see it? But the recognition is phenomenal,' she says. 'We're so lucky that we have room for everyone.' Native American Fashion Week Tira Howard On the second day of Fashion Week, in the same event space, Nonamey, who originally premiered on the Skyrails train, debuted a larger collection aimed at telling a more fully realized story. 'The name of this collection is Threaded Lineage, and it's the story of my family,' he says. 'It's an Indigenous story—my story. It begins with the Ancestor Dress, a story about my grandmother and a relative of mine who was shot by police.' Midway through the show, Nonamey presented a blinding orange, structured jacket emblazoned with the words 'DON'T SHOOT' across the back. This piece, like others in the collection, serves as a kind of "connective tissue"—memories and histories that have either directly affected him or live on through his lineage. Nonamey, who is of the Anishinaabe people of Northern Wisconsin, tells a deeply personal story of his family's forced relocation, his time in the foster care system, and the loss of identity that came with it. That journey intensified after learning he had lost both his mother and grandmother. 'It was this loss I didn't know what to do with, so I started applying it to my art,' he says. Originally trained in sculpture, Nonamey ultimately discovered that the language of clothing spoke to him more. Throughout the collection, he presented pieces that followed traditional 18th-century European dress silhouettes, layered with tribal prints, a visual merging of histories and heritages that reflect both his identity and the complex, often painful relationship with Native ethnicity in a colonized world. "I am a result of colonial action, I am an attempt at cultural genocide, but by reconnecting I stepped further away from an edge and I feel that by creating art and sharing it, i'm decolonizing this industry." Nonamey for Native American Fashion Week Tira Howard That spirit carried throughout the week. While Indigenous traditional wear is far from a monolith, with many of the designers representing diverse tribes and regions across the Americas, the shared goal of representing their heritage across time and geography remained central. Acts of rebellion, fine tailoring, streetwear, tribal prints, traditional tassels and suedes, moccasins, and sustainable fashion approaches like fur and multi-use materials were all present on the runway. 'The industry needs to know more and invest in the original designers of America. There is not one way to define Native fashion arts; the diversity is beautiful and complex,' says Amber Dawn. 'We had over 25 nations represented among the 30 Indigenous designers this season at Native Fashion Week Santa Fe. Within each of those nations, there are specific designs, colors, and intentional symbolism. Our designers blend their personal fashion with these traditional motifs, creating a modern interpretation of Indigenous fashion that embodies such a personal journey for everyone.' Nonamey NAFW Tira Howard As the week came to a close, the audience was left with a powerful message from the creator of the programming: 'From the streetwear motifs to the use of furs, which are all sustainable and sourced from Indigenous farmers in Canada, the meaning behind what our designers do, and the incredible attention to detail and purpose, must be understood through context as we enter a global forum. ' She continues, 'That's where you begin to see the vast range of performances down the runway, from Apache Skateboards to Shoshoni's Nar Rew Ekar, which went viral on social media, to the protest staged by Alex from Scrd Thndr. There was so much beauty and so many different expressions of fashion to witness. That background information is essential as we scale our exposure. We can't wait to continue expanding next season with more symposia and auxiliary events to keep sharing our designers' stories and work.'
