Christmas Gala of the Amati, Barrios Orquestados and Violonissimo orchestras

Christmas Gala of the Amati
Christmas Gala of the Amati, Barrios Orquestados and Violonissimo orchestras On Saturday 17 December 2022, we had the immense privilege of welcoming the Amati orchestra, one of the most important amateur orchestras in the Lausanne region.

On Saturday 17 December 2022, we had the immense privilege of welcoming the Amati orchestra, one of the most important amateur orchestras in the Lausanne region, for an exceptional concert conducted by our violin teacher Marc Tairraz.

Accompanied by the famous Geneva violin school Violonissimo, directed by Hong Shapiro, as well as the Barrios Orquestados, an ensemble with a social purpose, they offered the public an extraordinary performance.

The Barrios Orquestados Ensemble comes directly from the Canary Islands. Its mission is to give disadvantaged young people from these islands free access to a musical education.

From Vivaldi's Four Seasons to Katchaturian's Masquerade and some sublime tunes from the Spanish and Irish repertoires... this rich programme delighted the audience.
