The first of six concerts will see the execution of Ludwig van Beethoven’s string quartet in an event organised in collaboration with the Venetian Quartet and the Asolo Musica Association. The Giorgio Cini Foundation presented the new Venetian concert space to the press: the ‘Squero’ on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. An ancient workshop for the reparation of ships, the building has now been transformed into a modern and appealing auditorium, thanks to the work of the architects Cattaruzza and Millosevich, and with the contribution from the Interregional Board of Education for Public Works in Veneto, Trentino Alto Adige, and Friuli Venezia Giulia, as well as from the German Virginio Bruni Foundation.
