Venice Baroque Orchestra und Avi Avital - Trionfo del mandolino barocco

In the organizer's words:

The Israeli mandolinist Avi Avital is without doubt one of the most important interpreters of his instrument, which is still rarely heard on the classical music stage. His ability to gain new perspectives, to take a fresh look at music history and to transcend the boundaries of the classical repertoire is what sets him apart as an artist. With charm and virtuosity, he succeeds in delighting his audience time and time again, and has already received an ECHO Klassik award and a Grammy nomination for one of his recordings. Together with the top ensemble Venice Baroque Orchestra, Avital will be performing gems from Venetian-Neapolitan literature for plucked instruments as well as Antonio Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" in an arrangement for mandolin and orchestra. The Venice Baroque Orchestra, founded by Andrea Marcon, is one of the leading early music ensembles specializing in music-making on authentic instruments.
