Recognition and Rebirth: The 2022–23 season opens with Bach, featuring I Barocchisti and the soprano Nuria Rial, conducted by Diego Fasolis, at the Bachwochen in Thun.
Two other autumn events will celebrate the music of the Leipzig Kantor. At the end of September, guest instrumentalists from the Teatro Armonico di Vicenza will collaborate with the Coro RSI at the Auditorio for 'Festkantaten'. 'L'arte della fuga' will also be performed in orchestral form during the LAC season. Vanni Moretto, the Barocchisti's long-standing double bass player, will perform rare Milanese symphonies from the Napoleonic era with his Atalanta Fugiens ensemble in Lugano. Meanwhile, Handel's 'Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno' will be produced for the Opéra de Lausanne. Demonstrating its versatility, the Coro RSI will perform alongside the Gambe di Legno Consort in an epiphany concert, and will also perform Verdi's Traviata as part of the LAC opera programme, as well as Donizetti's Requiem at the traditional Good Friday concert in Bellinzona.
