The successful midday concert series, which last year consistently sold out, is back. For three weeks, around the great titles of the playbill, from Ariadne auf Naxos to Orpheus to to Baubò, eight appointments of from chamber music at the Stella Auditorium and St. Agatha's Church guide the audience to discover the relationship between myth and music, with that attraction that has accompanied the latter throughout its history, between the search for models and their overcoming.
As from tradition, two appointments are entrusted to the musicians of the Budapest Festival Orchestra in residence. The review continues with the presence to Spoleto of one of the most interesting ensembles of our time: the American JACK Quartet is a special guest with its four young musicians known worldwide as the most innovative interpreters of contemporary music.
Raffaele Pe, who has already starred in the title role of Gluck'sOpera Orpheus and Eurydice at the Teatro Nuovo, also makes an appearance in the concert of his ensemble La Lira di Orfeo, a collective of musicians, artists and researchers with whom he is revolutionizing the way Baroque music is performed, offering a repertoire that is being continually rediscovered.
Great return for the musicians of the Orchestra from Camera di Perugia, an absolute excellence in the area, who in the following concerts perform programs with original and always innovative combinations.
Please be advised that dates and times may be subject to change.
