IL VIRTUOSO ITALIANO

As part of the Folies Musicales du Châtelet festival

What if Italy told its story through music?

Embark on a musical journey across Italy, from Venice to Naples, from Sicily to the film studios of Cinecittà. Vivaldi, Mendelssohn, and Tchaikovsky meet traditional Italian music, while Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone evoke the great emotions of cinema.

At the heart of this journey, Christian-Pierre La Marca's cello proves alternately virtuosic, lyrical, and popular. Fiery tarantellas, great Italian arias, film music, and classical masterpieces: a generous program where Italy reveals itself in all its diversity.

The artists:

Mojca Lavrenčič, conductor - Winner of the La Maestra 2026 competition

Christian-Pierre La Marca, cello

Orchestre de chambre de Paris
