The brilliant Rinaldo Alessandrini brings his ensemble to Istanbul with a special Vivaldi program featuring soloist Sara Mignardo.
This series is made possible in part by a grant from the American-Turkish Council, Raymond James International Holding (independent investment and financial planning advice and investment banking services in the United States and Turkey since 1962), and the American Friends of Turkey.
This year's festival (June 6 through June 30, 2008) looks at the myriad forms of chamber ensembles from major European capitals with a stunning array of soloists. We will preview two great baroque ensembles and two extraordinary soloists.
