Bologna

Sunday, Sept. 29, in Bologna, in concert in the Oratory of San Filippo Neri young talents: violinist Stefano Montanari and harpsichordist Valeria Montanari.

Stefano Montanari, a Baroque violinist of unparalleled flair and now one of Europe's most sought-after conductors, returns to the 'ancient' chamber repertoire with a program devoted to the practice of the sonata a due of Baroque origin: from the historical matrix of Corelli's op.5 to Vivaldi's concertante style. At his side is his sister Valeria who, like Stefano, was part of Ottavio Dantone's Accademia Bizantina and continues to inhabit the universe of early music as a continuist and fortepianist.
