with Sestetto d’archi dell’Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini
Johannes Brahms
Sestetto n. 1 in si bemolle maggiore per archi op. 18
Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths, was an enlightened ruler, a man of culture and a skilled leader who brought peace to the land. Well versed in classical culture, he encouraged coexistence between the Germanic and Latin populations, respecting religious diversity and creating a climate of true tolerance. His enigmatic, symbol-rich mausoleum is an exceptional monument and a testament to his power. Accompanied by the charismatic art historian Jacopo Veneziani, the audience will discover the hidden meanings of this enchanting masterpiece of Late Antique art. Veneziani will invite us to reconsider its ancient stones and the legends that have emerged around them over the centuries, encouraging us to view them not just as a remnant of the past, but also as an invitation to ponder and question the present.
