We invite you to a concert by the Polish ensemble\u00a0Il Giardino d\u2019Amore<\/em>, featuring soprano\u00a0Aphrodite Patoulidou<\/em>, as part of the Intra Muros Festival 2026.<\/p>\n

For one day, heritage and early music\u2014from the medieval period to the Baroque\u2014come together in a vivid and immersive way. Moving beyond the traditional concert hall setting, the festival offers an accessible and engaging experience, brought to life by international artists and emerging talents in a unique historical setting.<\/p>\n

On stage,\u00a0Il Giardino d\u2019Amore<\/em>\u00a0takes the audience on a true musical journey\u2014like a novel full of contrasts, from its opening momentum to an intense and euphoric finale.<\/p>\n

The concert, entitled\u00a0Aphrodite \u2013 The Illuminations<\/em>, features the sunlit dances of Krak\u00f3w by Jan of Lublin, alongside the vibrant and richly spiced melodies of Szarzy\u0144ski and Mielczewski, in dialogue with works by Lutos\u0142awski and Moniuszko. You will hear a Greek lullaby in conversation with an Icelandic song by Bj\u00f6rk and a Kurpie folk melody by Szymanowski. Along the way, you will also encounter Mozart, Ravel, and Britten.<\/p>\n

Il Giardino d\u2019Amore<\/em>, founded in 2012 by violinist and conductor Stefan Plewniak, captivates audiences with its fresh approach to Baroque music. Combining refined performance with modern energy and bold projects (such as\u00a0Baroque & Pop<\/em>), the ensemble attracts audiences worldwide.<\/p>\n

The group has collaborated with leading vocal stars, including Jakub J\u00f3zef Orli\u0144ski and Ad\u00e8le Charvet, and has performed in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Mozarteum. Their recordings\u2014including the award-winning album\u00a0Handel \u2013 Enemies in Love<\/em>\u2014have received international acclaim.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/em>Aphrodite Patoulidou<\/strong>\u00a0is a Greek soprano who has performed with major orchestras including the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, the SWR Symphonieorchester, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, among many others.<\/p>\n

Her operatic roles include Elle (La Voix humaine<\/em>), Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro<\/em>), Belinda (Dido and Aeneas<\/em>), and Sophie Scholl (Wei\u00dfe Rose<\/em>). She has appeared on the stages of the Berlin State Opera, La Monnaie, Teatro Real Madrid, and the Greek National Opera.<\/p>\n

Her virtuosic interpretation of Britten\u2019s\u00a0Les Illuminations<\/em>\u00a0with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, conducted by Dalia Stasevska, was widely praised by the press.<\/p>\n
