Rome Chamber Music Festival 2012

A propos du spectacle

This year the Rome Chamber Music Festival celebrates its 9th Anniversary in the beautiful Palazzo Barberini in Rome.

The concerts will be held in the spectacular Salone Pietro Da Cortona, which has a ceiling rivaled only by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. But don't strain your necks too much, because the masterpieces of Beethoven, Piazzolla, Chausson, Prokofiev, Schubert, Brahms, Mozart and Tchaikovsky will be performed on stage right in front of you!

Robert McDuffie, the esteemed American violinist and founder of the Festival, describes how it began: “I came to Rome on sabbatical in the fall of 2002. I discovered a true passion for the world’s most beautiful city, and it was then that I started dreaming of inviting the world’s greatest musicians to perform in the spectacular and historical venues that can be found in the Eternal City. The Festival includes at least one work of an American composer each year, but its identity adheres to a true international ideal by inviting musicians from all over the world.”
