A byzantine mosaic from a Venetian church shines golden from the apsis. The space is filled with flamenco vocals, the young »Israeli Baroque Collective« responds with Italian composers that might feel Spanish. Then there is the ancient Sardinian singing tradition and the Oriental sounds from Northern Africa and the songs of the Sephardi Jews ... This year the opening concert takes you right into the world of Mediterranean music and offers a preview of the discoveries and surprises that await you this season. A declaration of love to the sea at the centre, which continues to tell a never-ending, common story of cultural diversity, of being a dreamy paradise and a trouble spot.
