Il Giardino Armonico on tour

For almost 40 years, the orchestra founded by Giovanni Antonini has been one of the leading international original-sound ensembles, delighting audiences, the press and renowned soloists all over the world with ever new ideas for well-known and lesser-known works of the Baroque and (early) Classical periods. The select circle of artistic partners includes exceptional artists such as violinists Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Isabelle Faust, pianist Fazil Say, mandolin prodigy Avi Avital, soprano Anna Prohaska or cellist Sol Gabetta – to name just a few of the most important.

In March and April 2023, the ensemble will be on tour with different programmes in Europe and Korea – again accompanied by outstanding musicians: with soprano Fatma Said, it will be guest at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie and Konzerthaus Berlin, and with Kristian Bezuidenhout and the Labèque sisters it will travel from Dijon to Baden-Baden before presenting arias from the Baroque at the Tongyeong International Music Festival in South Korea with the American-South Korean countertenor Kangmin Justin Kim.
