“Metamorphosis – Viola da Gambist Paolo Pandolfo”
Date: Thursday, February 9, 2012
Time: 8pm
Location: Alix Goolden Performance Hall
“Early music” is already almost half a century old…The experience of it is something crucial for the future development of western cultivated music. Artists try to build bridges between past and present, between apparently contradictory dimensions and make them communicate.
The program is focused around the form “Suite”: from the early French masters of the viol such as St.Colombe and De Machy, who started giving a shape to it, up to the established form of those immortal by J.S.Bach, passing through Telemann’s only remaining solo Fantasia… alternated with completely original contemporary music, written and/or improvised by the same Pandolfo. The Festival is also introducing a new feature: a series of events to introduce the Victoria audience to French baroque music.
