Every time we set out to study a music score, we are aware of the commitment and responsibility ahead of us:
to free the music, to breathe new life into it, to give it the chance to move us once again.
The work I do with my Accademia Bizantina is just that:
we explore together the musical secret that hides in the score.
A score we investigate, we interrogate, we dig into, allowing the score itself, its composition structure, its language, to tell us how and where to find
the key points where the composer envisioned the emotions he meant to communicate.
When we feel we have found them, and the result of our introspection is clear and shared, we are ready to interpret and convey them with our own style and personality, to all those who may now recognise them for what they are:
emotions rediscovered, explained, returned.
Ottavio Dantone
Interpreters: we give voice to the truth of music, first by investigating the sheet music and attempting to unlock its secret, then by making it come alive and resonate for all to hear.
Of Baroque: we specialise in the performance of 17th- and 18th-century music repertoire, branching out into classical music.
Suggestion: we study scores looking for everything that is unwritten, but well present: moods, emotions, suggestions the composer left hidden traces of, to be revealed.
Valori
Forty years of history are not a milestone, they are a treasure: of experiences, of places, of encounters that keep inspiring. Like those with the great masters Riccardo Muti, Luciano Berio, Stefano Montanari and, of course, our conductor: Ottavio Dantone.
“Together” is a word we truly believe in. We are not colleagues, we are friends, partners and confidants, united by a rare long-term understanding that grows year after year with the support of our Director.
Designed by Ottavio Dantone, it is what makes our music unique and exciting. It starts with the basic rules of Baroque rhetorical codes to reveal the truth hidden in the score.
It is the heart of music itself, what makes it a universal and timeless language. It is up to us to explore them thoroughly, understand them and give them to the public in their inspiring clarity.
Wherever we travel, we are honoured to represent the exceptional relationship between Italy and music: a centuries-old connection involving history, culture, art and territory. A very special connection.
Musical culture is a pathway to intellectual elevation, both individually and collectively. A resource we believe should be made accessible to all, so that it can be an instrument of happiness and growth.
