Edinburgh – On August 14th, the Italian Cultural Institute of Edinburgh will co-host a concert featuring the Venice Baroque Orchestra at The Queen's Hall in the Scottish capital. The performance is part of the world-renowned Edinburgh International Festival, which celebrates classical music and the performing arts.
Founded and conducted by Maestro Andrea Marcon, the Venice Baroque Orchestra uses period instruments to breathe new life into the works of Antonio Vivaldi.
