OUR PROJECTS
The Virtuosi Italiani seek stylistic relevance in every musical genre, with great rigor and great respect for their audience.
Let's meet musical genres
The Italian Virtuosos experiment and wish to delve more deeply into the repertoires of their illustrious guests and their languages.

Paolo Fresu
THE ITALIAN VIRTUOSES
Alberto Martini first violin and conductor
The project, certainly ambitious and intriguing, was born from the meeting between Paolo Fresu and the director of I VIRTUOSI ITALIANI Alberto Martini. The resulting desire to delve deeper into each other's repertoires and languages did the rest. The proposed program is the result of the realization of the idea of combining the repertoire and spirit of baroque music with jazz and improvisation.
The protagonists intended to explore the affinities between the rhythmic and harmonic approach of baroque music and that typical of jazz, addressing the issue in a dynamic way, combining compositions by Monteverdi, Bach, Vivaldi etc. to those of Uri Caine, Richard Galliano, Daniele di Bonaventura and Fresu himself.
In the program, therefore, there will be room not only for period compositions, but also compositions expressly created by living musicians and composers with the "baroque" spirit of improvisation, giving life to an intense and varied show in which classics and contemporaries will intersect in a fascinating and engaging balance.

Paolo Fresu's trumpet will interact with I VIRTUOSI ITALIANI, one of the most versatile and appreciated ensembles on the contemporary cultured scene.
A renowned formation, which works in the field of ancient and contemporary music, but also in collaboration with artists of other origins, such as Franco Battiato, Chick Corea, Uri Caine, Michael Nyman and many others.
Jazz Lightning
THE ITALIAN VIRTUOSES with URI CAINE
The project was born from the meeting between Uri Caine, I Virtuosi Italiani and Alberto Martini, their director, during the summer of 2009 when they created their first collaboration for the “I Suoni delle Dolomiti” Festival. The resulting desire to delve deeper into each other's repertoires and languages did the rest. The proposed program is a mix of classical pieces such as Bach's concerto in F minor for piano and orchestra or variations on a theme by Handel by Brahms, revised by the compositional genius of Uri Caine and pieces written specifically for the collaboration with I Virtuosi Italiani , like Summer Lightning. Uri Caine's piece “Three Movements for piano and strings” will be presented for the first time in Italy. the result of the realization of the idea of combining the repertoire and spirit of baroque music with jazz and improvisation.
The protagonists intended to combine the affinities and diversities of the rhythmic and harmonic characteristics of so-called classical music and those typical of jazz, addressing the issue in a dynamic and innovative way by proposing compositions by Bach, Handel, and Brahms filtered by the compositional sensitivity of Uri Caine and by the ability of I VIRTUOSI ITALIANI to confront and interact with different types of languages
The proposed program will therefore give life to an intense and varied show in which classic and contemporary will intersect in a fascinating and engaging balance.
Uri Caine's piano will interact with I Virtuosi Italiani, one of the most versatile and appreciated ensembles of the contemporary cultured panorama: a renowned formation, which works in the field of ancient and contemporary music, but also in collaboration with artists of other origins, such as Franco Battiato , Chick Corea, Michael Nyman, Ludovico Einaudi, Paolo Fresu, Richard Galliano, Giovanni Allevi and many others.

Tango is a music that is increasingly present in concert halls and theaters. The popular character underlying this musical genre (although still characterized by compositional elements of great complexity and avant-garde), makes it easily accessible to the general public.
Jazz
The relationship between jazz and European classical music is one of the most debated topics among historians, critics and enthusiasts, and is still today the subject of misunderstandings, distorted historical visions and a terrain of ideological conflict. It is a complex relationship, at times contradictory, a sort of meeting-clash between cultures that feeds as much on mistrust as on authentic and fruitful exchanges.
Soundtracks
Since the early 1900s, music has become an increasingly integral part of cinema and its use has become a source of inspiration for a new way of making and interpreting music.
There are many testimonies of the use of classical music in cinematography.
Baroque
Conceiving the Baroque as a historical period is certainly an extreme simplification, commonly used also in literature, architecture and other figurative arts but which, particularly in the musical field, presents evident limitations and a series of problems determined by the wide range of genres, styles, compositional and performance techniques that developed over the course of approximately one hundred and fifty years.
