They have collaborated with prestigious institutions such as Teatro alla Scala, La Fenice, Santa Cecilia, the Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Konzerthaus Wien, and Seoul Arts Center, among many others. Since 2011, they have been the resident ensemble at Venice’s Church of La Pietà, historically linked to Antonio Vivaldi.

Their vast discography includes over 100 CDs and collaborations with Deutsche Grammophon, Warner Classics, and CPO. They were awarded the Diapason d’Or de l’Année 2021 and received an Opus Klassik nomination in 2019.

Their repertoire ranges from historically informed performances on period instruments to crossover projects with artists such as Chick Corea, Paolo Fresu, Ludovico Einaudi, Uri Caine, and Goran Bregovic—bridging classical and contemporary soundscapes.

As Enrico Girardi wrote in Corriere della Sera:

“I Virtuosi Italiani are an outstanding ensemble, performing with stylistic awareness, energy, and brilliance across baroque, classical, and contemporary repertoires.”
