I MUSICI in Italian means “The Musicians” and was founded in 1952 by twelve young and promising Italian Musicians, mainly Roman and mostly graduates of the master classes at the Accademia di Santa Ceacilia.
The chamber playing and the unchanging sound of I MUSICI has been around for half a century and is underpinned by total dedication, and respect for the style and taste of each composer. The ensemble tries to keep the original taste of the music and retain the position of “the Ambassador of Baroque Music” in the music world.
I MUSICI, as an outstanding Chamber Orchestra in the music circle of Italy and the whole world, and will tour Asia (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore and etc.) during mid February to middle March 2009.
This Saturday, at the Shanghai Concert Hall, they will play Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons”, and also perform songs from famous movies, such as “Schindler’s List”, “Moon River”, “Over the Rainbow”, and more.
Remarkably, this will also be the first time that Nino Rota’s Concerto for strings (dedicated to I MUSICI) is put on the Chinese stage.
They will perform in National Theater this Sunday as well. Let’s expect I MUSICI Chamber Orchestra’s Myth concert and enjoy the charming moment of classical Music.
I MUSICI DI ROMA
“There are cigars and there are Cuban Cohibas, There are red wines and there are Chateau Laffite Rotschilds, There are performances of The Four Seasons and there is I MUSICI’S FOUR SEASONS”--The Palm Beach Post
In 1952, twelve young and promising Italian musicians, mainly roman and mostly graduates of the master classes at the Accademia di Santa Ceacilia, got together "inter pares" to create a unique chamber orchestra comprising six violins, two violas, two cellos, one double bass and one harpsichord, with the intention of revitalizing the string repertory, particularly that of the Italian composers of the "settecento".
