Music Festival Summer 2008
The Montisi Festival: Monday July 7 – Thursday July 11
The Piccola Accademia’s annual festival allows us to share with a wider audience our passion for musical excellence and historic performance practice. The harpsichord is at the heart of our festival but we also present ensembles, both instrumental and vocal, who highlight composers whose music incorporates or was informed by the instrument. Our artists range from distinguished exponents of historic performance to rising young stars, all offering a special musical experience.
