Filharmonie Brno
conductor Fabio Biondi violin
The Italian violinist and conductor Fabio Biondi is celebrated for his historically informed performance of early music and as the artistic director of the world famous ensemble Europa Galante, which he founded in 1989.
With Filharmonie Brno, he will present an attractive programme, offering works by three Italian composers of various generations, from Baroque to early Classical: Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741), Pietro Nardini (1722–1793) and Luigi Boccherini (1743–1805). These Italian masters will be complemented by the Czech Baroque composer, Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679–1745), whose music has enjoyed an unprecedented renaissance over recent decades. Zelenka is rightly seen globally as a major composer of the late Baroque era. He is known in particular for his vocal-orchestral works, but also wrote purely instrumental pieces. In 1717 he celebrated success in Vienna with his Capriccios. Working in Prague in 1722–1723, he composed several pieces that he probably never heard performed. Their titles include the word “concertanti” and a numeral indicating the number of instrumental voices. Conceived after the model of Vivaldi’s concerto grosso, but leaving the solo instruments as part of the orchestra, they include Simphonie à 8 concertanti, which we will hear at the concert in Besední dům.
The concert can be purchased as a part of a full subscription at the Ticket office of Filharmonie Brno on Besední Street and online from 27 May 2024.
The concert will be sold separately from 17 June 2024.
