A series of concerts from the 2020 edition of the MusicAntica Festival, promoted by the European Baroque Association.
The frescoes of the sixteenth-century Palazzo Ragazzoni in Sacile provide the backdrop for the Cantatas of Francesco Barsanti, recently rediscovered by musicologist Michael Talbot. Francesca Biliotti and the Cenacolo Musicale offer us the world premiere of this Italian composer who emigrated to Scotland in the mid-eighteenth century.
The rural church of San Pietro di Versiola, a 12th-century gem, hosts this beautiful concert by the duo Mauro Valli and Elisa La Marca. The repertoire includes music for cello, such as Ricercare for two cellos by Domenico Gabrielli, considered a pioneer in solo writing for this instrument.
The convent of St. Francis in Pordenone hosts music by Vivaldi, Piatti, and Tartini. The ensemble is composed of members from various international orchestras who regularly perform at the most important European festivals.
