Samuel Mariño will be accompanied by Gabetta Consort
In 2018, Gabetta Consort was created as a conquence of a desire to rediscover a rich, unusual, unprecedented and novel baroque Italian and French repertoire. Seeking the beauties of both styles, Gabetta Consort was designed with a flexible shape in mind, allowing the ensemble to scale up or down, growing from Quintets to Chamber Orchestras. Andrés Gabetta has been able to engage and be surrounded by the best Baroque musicians in the world and together they have recorded uncommon violin concertos, remasterised classical masterpieces reflecting Gabetta’s style and with the collaboration of leading international artists.
