Masters of the Violin: Corelli & Geminiani
ARTEK begins a three-year collaboration with Italian violinist superstar Enrico Gatti for concerts and workshops on Italian baroque music with this solo recital. The program includes sonatas of Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) recently discovered by Mr. Gatti and sonatas of Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762), Corelli’s student who brought the Italian baroque style to London. The public is also invited to a masterclass on Corelli on Friday afternoon, November 18 at St. Ignatius of Antioch.
