Venice Baroque Orchestra
The Italian Venice Baroque Orchestra, established in 1997 by harpsichordist, researcher and conductor Andrea Marcon, is known as one of the finest orchestras dedicated to playing concert and opera music of the 17^thand 18^th century on historic instruments. Under Marcon’s guidance the orchestra revives forgotten masterpieces of this historic era and gives new meaning to well-known music pieces. In the spirit of a real baroque orchestra, its size and cast changes according to the repertoire. The main theme is Vivaldi's compositions, known and almost unknown. The musicians enthral audiences all over the world with their fresh energy, stylistically striking expressiveness and the brilliant clarity of the sound of the string instruments. 

Chouchane Siranossian 
Violinist Chouchane Siranossian is one of the greatest virtuosos on the international baroque scene. In 2021, she received the International Classical Music Award for her CD of recordings of Tartini's concertos performed by the Venice Baroque Orchestra. Her easy approach to interpreting Tartini's demanding repertoire reminds us of the words of his contemporaries, namely that Tartini's music doesn't have the same effect if it is not performed in the style of his school. Chouchane Siranossian has completely fused with the style of the School of Nations, where improvised ornaments are not stiff but are created in the moment of performance, born out of deep internal assimilation of the maestro’s style and in an unrepeatable event recreates the initial music idea in the same way as at jazz concerts nowadays.
