Giovanni Sollima | Il Pomo d’Oro

On Friday, February 27, 2026, at 8.30 PM, at Teatro Manzoni, an evening that blends ancient and contemporary languages in a dialogue between tradition and invention. Cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima will lead the Baroque ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro, joined by violinist Federico Guglielmo, on a musical journey across cultures, eras, and styles.

The program takes its title from Al Bunduqiyya – The Lost Concerto, a project centered on a visionary reconstruction of Vivaldi’s lost Concerto RV 787, reimagined by Sollima starting from the surviving viola part.

The concert alternates Baroque works by Tartini and Vivaldi with reworkings of traditional Cypriot and Arbëreshë music, arranged by Sollima himself. These pieces explore the rhythms and colors of the Mediterranean, alongside original compositions such as Moghul and The Family Tree, which merge classical writing with folk idioms—highlighting the hybrid and visionary soul of the project.

Among the works featured in the program:

– Concerto in B-flat major RV 547 and Il Proteo, o sia Il mondo al rovescio RV 544 by Vivaldi
– Aria del Tasso by Tartini
– Traditional dances Karsilama in three movements
– Recitative from the famous Concerto Grosso Mogul RV 208

The 2025/2026 Concert Season is promoted by Fondazione Teatri di Pistoia, with the support of Fondazione Caript.
