Ensamble “IL DEMETRIO”

The Demetrio is one of the most lively groups with original instruments of the Italian scene, it was founded in 2008 in Pavia by Maurizio Schiavo and takes its name from the musical history of the city: The Demetrio is in fact the title of the opera of the Bohemian Josef Myslivecek who in 1773 inaugurated the Teatro dei Quattro Cavalieri, today the Teatro Fraschini.
The “Demetrio” ensemble, since its early years of activity, has given life to a project of rediscovery and enhancement of the musical heritage of Pavia and its province by proposing numerous important compositions for the first modern performance. Among the compositions brought to light we remember the opera " il Demetrio" performed during the “Festival dei Saperi 2010”, the compositions for the cinema "Sound Landscapes” by Franco Vittadini , “Tantum ergo” for soloists, choir and orchestra and Dixit Dominus for bass, viola concertante and orchestradi Alessandro Rolla, three compositions for the Holy Week (Adoramus te, Miserere and Christus factus est) for choir and strings by Antonio Cagnoni.
