From October 4 to November 28, the Baroque Weeks Festival of Brescia returns, now in its twenty-fourth edition, with 23 events across Brescia and the province. The title "Arconauti" conveys the idea of music capable of crossing borders and transforming. The violin is the common thread of a program that ranges from Baroque to Gypsy and Latin American traditions, from klezmer to Irish fiddle and swing, alongside paths dedicated to Bach, the Venetian eighteenth century, and other instruments such as cello, organ, lute, mandolin, guitar, and bassoon.
