In this joyful concert AAM leader, Bojan Čičić, will take us on a magical musical journey to Baroque Italy celebrating the Italian concerto: a sunburst of creativity, flamboyance and musical imagination that took Europe by storm – and transformed the way we listen. This concert will include the showmanship and melody of Vivaldi’s L’Estro Armonico and the sheer exuberance of Corelli’s Concerto Grosso, plus contributions from the lesser-known, but just as entertaining, Locatelli, Valentini and Mossi. Absorbing Italy’s warmth, injecting the energy of the wonderfully fertile Baroque period, then adding the novelty and glamour of the very latest in musical technology, the violin, this promises to be an unmissable concert!
