Where streams of tourists pour in today, artistic hustle and bustle prevailed for centuries. Around 1600, outstanding composers such as Giovanni Gabrieli and Francesco Usper used the galleries of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice as church musicians to try out the new concept of polychoral music. Musical successors such as Baldassare Galuppi and Antonio Lotti were no less experimental: they were also great representatives of Venetian music history. At the serenade concert by the Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra and its guest Frithjof Smith, their works enter into a dialog with those of lesser-known masters who are all the more worth discovering - naturally in historically informed performance practice.
