Seedlings of the symphony and daffodil flowers for the oboe grow in the Sammartini brothers’ garden.

Giuseppe Sammartini became the most famous oboist of the 18th century in London. The soloist Benoît Laurent will present his Oboe Concerto No. 12 in C major as the first revival.

The symphonic music of his younger brother, Giovanni Battista, influenced European music history from his hometown of Milan. The program is enriched with oboe solos by Nicola Antonio Porpora and Georg Friedrich Handel, which were composed specifically for the oboist Giuseppe Sammartini, as well as a serenada for oboe and plucking orchestra from “Don Juan” by C. W. Gluck, a student of Giovanni Battista.

Entry is Free to this concert.
