Il Giardino Armonico / Giovanni Antonini

Patricia Kopatchinskaja is one of the most unconventional violinists in the international music scene. The Moldavian’s interpretations normally roam well beyond the limits of standard conventions. She regularly performs with major orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, and she is passionately devoted to music from various eras, from the renaissance to the modern age. Kopatchinskaja has put together an unusual programme for her concert at the Elbphilharmonie with the Italian Baroque music ensemble Il Giardino Armonico and the charismatic conductor and recorder player Giovanni Antonini. They perform concertos by Vivaldi alongside new commissions by contemporary Italian composers such as Luca Francesconi, Simone Movio, Aureliano Cattaneo and Marco Stroppa.
