Trevor Pinnock, Ph. Giannelli

The Opera della Primaziale Pisana announces a new edition of Anima Mundi. For the twenty-first time since 2001, when an idea by Giuseppe Sinopoli gave birth to the festival, the Cathedral and the Camposanto of Pisa will be the extraordinary backgrounds of seven concerts, from the 9th to the 24th of September, all marked by a common spiritual dimension. The artistic director Trevor Pinnock, has called famous performers, emerging soloists and some of the most acclaimed Italian and foreign ensembles to play a program that alternates definite values and unpublished proposals over a span of almost three centuries.
