About this concert
To strengthen faith and stimulate piety: this was the role of music according to Pope Benedictus XIV, who in the 18th century carried out radical church reforms. Festival resident Giulio Prandi closely examines the religious repertoire of this period from a double perspective: that of traditional counterpoint, as in Domenico Scarlatti’s ‘Madrid’ Mass, and that of the modern, theatrical style of Perez and Jommelli.

About the performers
Coro e Orchestra Ghislieri came into being when Giulio Prandi, Maria Cecilia Farina, Mario Bianchi and Alberto Guerrero started working together, and it consists of some of the most talented musicians in Italy. As well as presenting music by established names, they also like to re-introduce obscure works to their audience. In 2013 the ensemble embarked on a special partnership with the Fondation Royaumont.
