About this concert
Like the canopy under which we rest every night, the expressive power of music connects generations and centuries. With this in mind the young Sollazzo Ensemble presents a monumental fresco in which past and present meet. The starting point of this scenically conceived concert is a panorama of medieval frescoes and paintings in which biblical protagonists are joined by angels playing music. These angels accompany the scenes with imaginary heavenly music.
Vielle specialist Anna Danilevskaia’s celebrated ensemble brings this iconography to life: each part of the concert presents a medieval image, which is first expressed as a tableau vivant and then portrayed by means of ballads and liturgical chants by Francesco Landini, Matteo da Perugia and Johannes Ciconia.

About the performers
The Sollazzo Ensemble, based in Basel, didn’t exist until 2014, but less than a year later won various prizes at the York Early Music International Young Artists Competition, among them the audience prize. Directed by vielle player Anna Danilevskaia, the ensemble focuses on medieval repertoire, although the musicians have very different musical backgrounds – from early to contemporary music, and even musicals. In 2016 Sollazzo released its first CD on the Linn Records label.
