The Giro d’Italia is one of the world’s great cycling races, second only to the Tour de France. Akin to the Giro, the ensemble travels the length and breadth of Italy highlighting the superb quality of music to be found in musical centres both great and small.

To celebrate PBO’s abundance of talent, each season will now feature a program curated by an orchestra member. First up is our esteemed leader, Carla Moore, in a concert that delves into Georg Philipp Telemann’s vast musical cupboard. We explore a kaleidoscope of textures and styles, from the musings of solo lute to a declamatory overture for the full cohort of strings. Further contrast abounds with French and Italian works by two of Telemann’s likely influencers, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier and Francesco Durante.
