Arvo Pärt, Haydn, Locke, Sammartini & Scheidt

Historical performance practices and artistic daring work together in harness whenever Il Giardino Armonico makes music. The period-instrument ensemble, founded in Milan in 1985, has blazed the brightest of trails in its interpretations of works from the 17th and 18th centuries, harvesting prestigious awards for its indispensable discography and copious critical acclaim. It starts its residency by turning its collective artistry, shaped under the visionary direction of co-founder Giovanni Antonini, to the music of Haydn.
