The Modlin Center for the Arts is pleased to present the Venice Baroque Orchestra with cellist Mario Brunello on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. in Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music.
The critically acclaimed Venice Baroque Orchestra is one of the premier ensembles devoted to period instrument performance. Committed to the rediscovery of 17th – and 18th-century masterpieces, VBO has given the modern-day premieres of Francesco Cavalli’s L’Orione, Vivaldi’s Atenaide and Andromeda liberata, Benedetto Marcello’s La morte d’Adone and Il trionfo della poesia e della musica, and Boccherini’s La Clementia.
In 1986 Mario Brunello was the first Italian to win the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, which launched him into a stunning international career. Brunello has played with some of the most prestigious orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, London Symphony, Kioi Sinfonietta, Orchestre National de France, NHK Symphony Tokyo, Filarmonica della Scala, Accademia di Santa Cecilia, and DSO Berlin.
