Joaquín Turina Music School Orchestra and Chorus and Violin Ensemble

In 2013, a group of internationally recognized musicians who live or studied in Venice, tired of traveling the world, decided to create a new musical reality in this amazing city.

Specializing in concerts with historic instruments in the exact style of Vivaldi’s time, we quickly realized discovered, in the course of our “musical archaeology,” how many amazing manuscripts of music were forgotten in archives and libraries when the world went mad for Mozart! So we made it our mission to transcribe and start to perform them for the first time in 200-300 years! In 2018, Venice Music Project launches its new “Hidden Treasures” series, to feature some of the music we have discovered.

Inspired by other international historic and artistic preservation endeavors, our mission has been expanded to help to fund the restoration of the beautiful and historic venues where we perform. In this manner, we hope to leave a greater Venetian patrimony for this and future generations to enjoy.
