With »La Serenissima – Journey to Italy,« the Armoniosa ensemble transports listeners into the musical world of Italian Baroque and its influence throughout Europe. The program focuses on trio sonatas and concert arrangements by Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Benedetto Platti, and Tomaso Albinoni, which exemplify the elegance, virtuosity, and melodic expressiveness of Venetian instrumental music. The program is complemented by works by George Frideric Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach, whose engagement with the Italian style impressively documents the stylistic influence of this music beyond Italy’s borders. With its chamber music ensemble, Armoniosa thus opens up a multifaceted perspective on the musical interplay between Italian sources of inspiration and German reception in the early 18th century.
