The Upcoming Inaugural Edition sees concerts taking place at locations that are closely related to the great composers, such as Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Verdi, Wagner, Fauré, Poulenc, Hahn, Stravinsky, Cole Porter, Bernstein, and many other great masters who lived or composed in Venice.  The private Palazzos that have hosted these artists throughout the centuries - many of which are still in the hands of the families that supported and nurtured them – have graciously agreed to open their doors especially for us for an intimate, behind-the-scenes experience, whereas the large-scale concerts will take place in some of the City’s most iconic locations. The prime position of Venice as a historical center of global cultural exchange for over a millennium will be fully explored, with repertoire choices that reflect the diverse cultural traditions that have left their mark on the City.
