"Greatness and Decadence" at the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice

Saturday, 22nd September, at 8:00 pm, the theme 'Greatness and Decadence' will be developed in a concert by the orchestra Les Agrémens, directed by Guy van Waas, with the participation of soprano Jennifer Borghi.

Many composers from the Baroque age tried their hands at the noble subjects of Antiquity. With the greatest passion the pre-romanticism intensifies the furore and torment of figures such as Phaedra, Iphigenia, Eurydice, Olympia and Medea. Protagonists of the concert: the Belgian orchestra Les Agrémens playing period instruments, the conductor Guy van Waas and the Italo-American mezzosoprano Jennifer Borghi.
