‘Impeccable artistry’ comes to Hodgson Hall

The well-known chamber orchestra I Musici (pronounced “ee MOO-zee-chee) will perform in Hodgson Hall at 8 p.m. March 15. Tickets are $29-$33 (half-price students), and are available at the box office in the Performing Arts Center
(542-4400).
In 1952, 12 idealistic students at Rome’s Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia formed a chamber ensemble to revive the music of the Italian baroque. They called themselves “the musicians”--“I Musici.” Following baroque performance practice, they decided to play without a conductor. Within a few years, the ensemble was giving concerts throughout the world, touring extensively to Spain, Germany, Japan, North America, and its native Italy. Soon thereafter, Arturo Toscanini, the great conductor, called them “the best chamber orchestra in the world.”
Playing without a conductor means that every performance expresses the talents of 12 artists, rather than one person’s view imposed on 12 players. The result, as expressed by the New York Times, is “playing of verve, stylistic purity and impeccable artistry. One is constantly impressed by their ability to achieve the full sonority of a string orchestra without sacrificing the clarity and utter precision of a string quartet.”
I Musici still specializes in the Italian baroque, and much of the ensemble’s repertoire has been recorded on the Philips label. In 1983, I Musici received a platinum record with inset diamond to mark worldwide sales of 10 million. The orchestra’s first recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is still one of the best-selling items in the Philips catalogue.
They will perform an all-Vivaldi program for this concert: The Four Seasons; Concerto in G Major for Strings; Concerto in B-flat Major for Two Violins, Strings, and Continuo; Concerto in F Major for Violins, Strings, and Continuo; and Concerto in D Major for Two Violins, Two Celli, Strings, and Continuo.
A pre-concert lecture will be given by David Schiller of the School of Music. The lecture begins 45 minutes prior to the concert and is free and open to the public.

In celebration of this long friendship, the art education department of the School of Art and local artist Susan Colangelo have organized a juried competition for the design of a ceremonial flag for Athens; 158 students from Athens-Clarke, Oconee, Jackson, Oglethorpe, and Madison counties are participating.
