🎼 Concert evening of a special kind: on Saturday, May 17, 2025 - 19:30 | Location: Madonna del Sasso pilgrimage church | Orselina 🎼
On Saturday, May 17, 2025, at 19:30, the majestic pilgrimage church of Madonna del Sasso in Orselina invites you to a very special concert event. Under the title “Ingenious Youth - When Music Begins to Shine”, works will be performed by four composers who created musical masterpieces as young people: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gabriel Fauré and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. What they have in common is a creative spirit that found impressive expression even in their youth - fresh, passionate and full of inner fire.
Professor Rudolf Koelman, Professor Orfeo Mandozzi and the orchestra “Ad Archi dell'Università delle Arti di Zurigo” cordially invite you to this concert. Young works by great masters will be performed, which are not only technically brilliant, but also characterized by astonishing emotional depth.
