SCHOLA CANTORUM VENERANDAE FABRICAE
Established by the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano with the aim of promoting and supporting young professionals at an international level, it is a group specifically dedicated to concert activity based on study and research, recognised for its methodological rigour and quality of research, with a specialisation in the Renaissance repertoire.
The ensemble is composed of young musicians selected through a rigorous audition process, who are given the opportunity to perform in concerts and participate in masterclasses and workshops with renowned artists.
CULTURAL SOCIETY OFFICIUM MUSICUM
The instrumental ensemble Officium Musicum, which is part of the cultural association of the same name, performs and interprets works primarily from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, without excluding later periods. The individual musicians have diverse and rich academic and professional backgrounds, having successfully completed their training mainly at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Music and the Claudio Abbado Civic School of Music in Milan, the two most important academic institutions in the Lombard capital. In addition to the pride of being young, some of them already have important experiences in their CVs, having taken part in events both in Italy and abroad, in venues and musical groups of international renown.
