📅 5 September 2026 – 7.00 pm
📍 Piazzetta della Fontana, Uri The programme of the Orfeo Futuro ensemble continues in Uri, having already performed on 4 September at Sassari. The concert brings together Angelica Di Santo (soprano), Giovanni Rota and Valerio La Tartara on violins, Gioacchino De Padova on the viola da gamba, Gabriele Natilla on the theorbo and Pierfrancesco Borrelli on the harpsichord. The programme is dedicated to the central role of Italian musical culture during its golden age, spanning
from the invention of the ‘Seconda Pratica’ to the international success of vocal music and opera, practised with equal mastery by composers from northern Europe.
The instrumental pieces have been selected from the vast body of chamber music which, having also flourished on the Italian peninsula, went on to influence musical cultures beyond the Alps, with a particular focus on variations on a basso ostinato, which were warmly received by the European musical world, long enamoured with the practices of instrumental dance. The event forms part of the ‘Note senza tempo’ series, an international early music festival founded in Sassari in 2019, dedicated to promoting the historical repertoire spanning the Renaissance and Baroque periods. → Go to the full event
