Carlo Ipata & Auser Musici
An imaginary day entirely dedicated to Bach. AuserMusici combines in this program three exemplary pieces of Johann Sebastian's perfect mastery of the different styles and forms of the time: a profane Cantata (Non sa che sia dolore), the Brandenburg Concerto n.3 for strings only and Basso Continuo, and the Orchestral Suite n.2. A party made of great music!

In listening to music, as indeed in any artistic experience, the alternation between repetition and the pleasure of novelty are fundamental elements to arise the interest of the public. This is the intention of Follie, Ciaccone e altri Affetti proposed this evening.

Carlo Ipata & Auser Musici
Concerto Grosso, or the Corellian "verb": a new way of playing in the orchestra alternating solos and tuttis invented by Arcangelo Corelli and exported to England by his "evangelists" Barsanti and Geminiani, which was masterfully interpreted by the most Italian of the German composers, Georg Friedrich Handel.

Il Festival di Musica Antica 2023
On an idea of M° Carlo Ipata, since 1996 the Festival has been characterized by concerts that are held in places of great historical and artistic interest in a perfect combination of tourism and culture that aims to make early music known within some pearls of the territory.
Italian ensembles such as La Venexiana, l’Hommé Armée and Odhecaton performed at the Tuscan Early Music Festival, and even more famous foreign ensembles and soloists such as Rolf Lislevand and Dan Laurin (Norway), Villancico (Sweden), The Soloists of Catherine the Great (Russia), The Croatian Baroque Orchestra (Croatia) and many more.
Every year, within the Festival, at least one new production is always dedicated to the unpublished Tuscan repertoire, to whose rediscovery Auser Musici has been dedicating itself with perseverance and passion for over twenty years.
