Description

Picture yourself walking into a Venetian church. You are about to hear music that was written to be performed in this space or a similar one in Venice over 300 years ago. Since its inception in 2012, Venice Music Project Ensemble has worked tirelessly to uncover, restore and share lost music from the magnificent Venetian Baroque period with the rest of the world. With this dedication to detail and history, we have unearthed a vast treasure trove of important music manuscripts, and you are among the first people to hear that music in modern day! Every concert contains at least one of these “Hidden Treasures,” and several concerts within each season are entirely dedicated to that theme.

Join our cheering section and help these composers find their voices again.
And, as always, we will Ba-ROCK you!

Further Information

Since its inception in 2012, Venice Music Project Ensemble quickly distinguished itself as a leading international musical ensemble whose primary mission is to restore and share lost music from the magnificent Venetian Baroque period with the rest of the world.

A group of internationally acclaimed musicians, at the apex of our careers, we decided to try to make a difference in this fragile city that
is our home: thus the non-profit organization, Venice Music Project, was born.

Highly specialized in the Venetian Baroque style, most of our musicians spend as many hours doing musical archaeology in local libraries and archives as they do rehearsing and performing, and we have unearthed a vast treasure trove of important music manuscripts that we are thrilled to share with our audiences. The world truly went mad for Mozart and forgot all the glorious music that preceded and inspired him. The composers that he praised in his correspondence with his family are just waiting to be rediscovered, and we are on it!

The thrill of knowing that we are the first to perform an incredible piece of music for the first time in over 300 years, and the overwhelming reaction of audiences at being able to hear that performance, is life-changing for us all. Every concert contains at least one of these “Hidden Treasures,” and several concerts within each season are entirely dedicated to that theme.

Inspired by our colleagues who restore art and architecture in Venice, and mindful of the intricate relationship that they have with Venice’s music, we have also made it our mission to support the restoration of the historic locations in Venice where we perform. To date, we have donated approximately 1/10th of our annual budget each year to that purpose.

Join our cheering section, and help these composers find their voices.

And, as always, we will Ba-ROCK you!
