Languorous, extravagant Venice, the “Queen of the Adriatic Sea”, shows off a hundred years of splendiferous music, from Gabrieli to Vivaldi. Enrico Onofri, a sensitive yet virtuosic violinist, brings to life the poignant Venetian repertoire, revealing the gallantry and lyricism that have inspired so many composers since.

In the « City of Bridges », the streets continue to echo sublime woodwind music written centuries ago. Immersed in music by Albinoni and Vivaldi, get swept away by the rich and sumptuous sounds of oboist Alfredo Bernardini. A whirlwind of colour and proud homage to Venice.

On the programOn the programOn the programOn the program Bach : « Tilge, Höchster, Meine Sünde », Psaume 51, BWV 1083 Handel opera arias

Passionate love, brotherly tenderness, spiritual devotion, disillusioned ardour: Arion succumbs to life’s sweet elixir in company of guest soloists Maarten Engeltjes, counter-tenor, and Camille Poul, soprano. Drift into J.S. Bach’s Stabat Mater and voluptuous operatic duets by Handel; surrender to the world of tumultuous and paradisiacal love. .

Generous, frank, even jocose, Mozart never ceases to thrill audiences more than 250 years after his birth. Cecilia Bernardini, molto impetuosa on the violin, will delight in this composer’s masterpieces, as well as in works by Fränzl and Vanhal, both known and appreciated by the master himself. Arion peeps through the keyhole and into Mozart’s world.

The exuberant guest conductor and violinist Stefano Montanari knows how to make bows swirl… and heads turn!
