Italianissimo!

• Claudio Astronio, organ; Les Sonneurs; Kiri Tolaksen, cornetto (guest); Douglas Kirk, cornetto; Dominique Lortie, alto and tenor sackbut; Peter Christensen, tenor sackbut; Trevor Dix, bass sackbut

Turn back the clock 400 years to the early Baroque, whose hesitant first steps were already exhilarating. With Claudio Astronio, undisputed master of the organ in Italy (“Astronio: an effervescent exultation of verve and talent”—Le monde de la musique). He will perform solo and with the ensemble Les Sonneurs.
