Sinfonietta VivazzA

The Sinfonietta VivazzA, named after the pet name of Rossini's restless and enterprising father, is made up of passionate professional chamber musicians (flute, clarinet, bassoon, horn, violins, viola, cello, double bass, harp) and presents high-quality concerts to different audiences.

The aim of Sinfonietta VivazzA is to make classical chamber music accessible to a wider audience under the motto "music you can touch". To this end, it uses unusual programs with variable instrumentation as well as combinations of music and other art forms such as dance, film and theater.
