Avital. Sollima. Tondo. Copia
Sentieri — Paths

"I am interested in the search for new experiences in the classical concert", Avi Avital once said. For "Sentieri" (Paths), the most famous mandolin virtuoso of our time has teamed up with cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima. The ensemble is complemented by the singer Alessia Tondo, one of the most important voices in Apulia, and the early music specialist Giuseppe Copia on theorbo and guitar. "Sentieri" is a joyful musical journey that playfully transcends stylistic and epochal boundaries and combines folkloristic and classical traditions. "In the end," says Avital, "a labyrinth becomes a single great path that we share and experience together."

This will be followed by an artist talk with Avi Avital in the Ballroom.

Avi Avital believes that not remembering a concert is a good sign. Because then he was completely immersed in the moment. The famous mandolinist tells us what he likes so much about his instrument and which animal it reminds him of in the podcast for the journey home.
