The Orchestra I Virtuosi Italiani was founded in 1989
The orchestra I Virtuosi Italiani, established in 1989, has existed for over 30 years.
The Virtuosi Italiani performed all of Rossini's operas in one act for the Paris Opera Comique and held two concerts at the Konzerthaus in Vienna.
On December 19, 2008 I Virtuosi Italiani held the concert for the Senate of the Italian Republic and televised live by RAI 1, the "Concert for Life and Peace" performed in Rome, Bethlehem and Jerusalem and broadcast by RAI in Mondovisione, the Concert at the Sala Nervi in the Vatican in the presence of the Pope.
The Virtuosi Italiani received in June the nomination for the Opus Classic Awards, the most important prize for classical music in Germany.
Since 2011 I Virtuosi Italiani have been the protagonists of a Concert Season, in the Church of the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, the place where Antonio Vivaldi played, taught and gave birth to all the works for all his life.
The complex of I VIRTUOSI ITALIANI, established in 1989, celebrates 30 years of activity.
It is one of the most active and qualified formations in the international music scene, regularly invited to the most important theaters, festivals and seasons around the world. They are recognized with a particular aptitude for
creating innovative projects, constant research in various languages, in addition to the excellent artistic quality demonstrated over years of activity.
There are numerous collaborations with soloists and conductors of international importance.
They collaborated on the staging of Stravinsky's Apollon Musagete with the New York City Ballet; in 2001 they performed all of Rossini's one-act operas for the Paris Opera Comique and held two concerts at the Konzerthaus in Vienna.
I Virtuosi Italiani have performed for the most important theaters and for the main Italian musical institutions such as the
Teatro alla Scala, the Teatro La Fenice, the National Academy of
Santa Cecilia, the GOG of Genoa, the Unione Musicale di Torino, the University Institution of Concerts in Rome, the Teatro alla Pergola in Florence, the
Philharmonic Society of Rome, the Teatro Filarmonico of Verona, the Quartet Society of Milan and many others.
Among the most important engagements we remember the Concert for the Senate of the Italian Republic and broadcasted by RAI 1, the "Concert for Life and Peace" performed in Rome, Bethlehem and Jerusalem and broadcast by RAI in Mondovisione, the Concert at the Sala Nervi in the Vatican in the presence of the Pope.
There are also numerous tours abroad, with concerts in the most important halls in the world:
France (Festival Pablo Casals di Prades, Festival Berlioz, Aix-en-Provence, Bordeaux),
Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, England (London Royal Albert Hall), Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland,
Slovenia (Ljubljana International Festival),
Russia (St. Petersburg Philharmonic Hall, Moscow Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Tchaikovsky Hall of the Philharmonic), Turkey, Iran, Korea,
United States of America
(New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia),
Baltic countries.
In the sign of versatility and the attention given to a choice of repertoire aimed at involving an increasing audience with particular attention to young people, the interest that the group has always shown in the border repertoire is also significant. Hence the birth of collaborations and projects with artists such as Franco Battiato, Goran Bregovic, Uri Caine, Chick Corea, Paolo Fresu, Ludovico Einaudi, Michael Nyman, Cesare Picco, Enrico Rava, Antonella Ruggiero, Gianluigi Trovesi, Richard Galliano and many others.
The concerts of I Virtuosi Italiani have always been crowned with enthusiastic acclaim from critics and the public. So writes Enrico Girardi in the “Corriere della Sera”: «I Virtuosi Italiani are an ensemble of absolute value. They approach the baroque, the classic and the contemporary not only with ease, but with a grit, an enamel and an "adrenaline" that produces life and tension without pushing beyond the limits of a wise stylistic relevance ».
Since 2011 they have been the protagonists of a Concert Season, in the Church of the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, the place where Antonio Vivaldi played, taught and create to all his works all his life.
