Last concert of the ancient music festival Timeless Notes

We have reached the end of our fourth edition of the international early music festival Note senza tempo! 

It doesn't seem true to us that we have completed all the scheduled dates considering that the last two years have also been difficult for us with canceled flights, artists suddenly ill and closures. In any case, we arrived well, thanks to your support and not only in presence at the concerts, but also with your signatures for the 2nd×1000 e 5×1000 which will allow us to fill the gap, sometimes total that some institutions leave.

the Dolci Accenti ensemble will greet you with a concert dedicated to the Neapolitan musician Antonio Stulichi. His sonatas for traversiere (transverse flute) and continuous bass are linked to a production that has until now been little considered considering the high number of works that were composed in the particularly prolific Neapolitan musical circles in that period. Throughout the eighteenth century we witnessed the affirmation of a new wealthy class generated by social changes. The homes of the new protagonists of European society, and French first of all, become the point of reference for artists, musicians and writers. In this panorama the flute experienced enormous diffusion and many authors wrote new works for this instrument.

There is very little news about Antonio Stulichi. He is certainly part of that group of Neapolitan musicians who had great success abroad at the courts and noble palaces throughout Europe. Lived in the 18th century, he is supposed to have been a Neapolitan violinist, as stated in the heading on the title page of the work. 1, collection published by the Parisian publisher Boivin around 1740.

The works performed were kindly provided to the team by the musicologist, German flutist and conductor Hans Oskar Koch, for years cultural director of the Sudvestfunk in Mainz, find it at the Biblioteque National de Paris.

We take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and to say goodbye to the next initiatives of our association!
