Baroque music was rediscovered after its extinction with Bach's death at the beginning of the 19th century, and its performance took on various forms. With his ensemble Concentus Musicus, Harnoncourt took a pioneering approach to historical performance practice from the 1960s onwards. Gian Piero Reverberi took a different path, founding his ensemble "Rondò Veneziano" in 1979. In more than 23 years, he composed around a hundred hits in the style of Venetian baroque music. In addition to his melodies, listeners also remember him as an ensemble in rococo costumes. Classical and pop, two musical genres that could not be more different. No other musical ensemble has achieved such an artistic symbiosis between baroque classical music and modern music. His works stormed the charts and remained at the top for weeks. In today's concert, we are juxtaposing baroque and "modern" live in concert for the first time, shedding light on history and traveling to Venice in the early 18th century. In addition to several works from the "Rondò Veneziano", the program also includes authentic Baroque music: two solo concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, one for oboe and one for guitar. On the one hand, the orchestra performs on the usual baroque instruments (oboe, strings, guitar, harpsichord), while on the other, the performers also switch to "pop instruments" such as electric guitar, electric bass, keyboard and percussion. A varied program as a balancing act between art and kitsch, performed at the highest level!
