Event details
A Tripudiis Sonis Variis (Latin for: “A Jubilation of Sounds”) lends its name to a repertoire shaped by Ilaria Crociani, Mirko Guerrini, and Steve Magnusson, exploring the many ways the legacy of Baroque music continues to resonate in the present, not as a distant relic, but as a living, transforming language.
In this program, the works of Monteverdi, Scarlatti, Strozzi, Purcell, Johnson and Kapsberger among others are revisited and allowed to unfold anew through improvisation. Ornaments, gestures, silence become spaces of encounter, where past and present meet without hierarchy, and where listening itself becomes an essential part of creation.
A sense of re-awakening permeates the music. Memory and invention intertwine, allowing forms to shift and identities to dissolve, revealing beauty in unexpected ways. Each moment emerges in real time as part of a discourse still in motion.
Within the intimacy of this space, history draws closer. And in that closeness, we sense how passions, torments, desires, and hopes echo across time, showing that the human heart has always sought, longed, and dreamed in the same ways.
