Igor Stravinsky and Guillaume de Mauchaut, Luigi Nono and Gesualdo da Venosa, Claudio Monteverdi and Arvo Pärt, Mozart and Verdi: these authors span centuries in the history of music and represent its living memory. To them goes a symbolic salute orchestrated by Director Luca Francesconi in a Ritual Procession on the Water that left from the Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, the venue for the last concert in the program, and took the public across the waters of Venice to the island of San Michele, where the remains of Stravinsky and so many other artists have been laid to rest.
