Interpreti Veneziani

Interpreti Veneziani performs Vivaldi and other Baroque music at San Vidal, a former church in Venice now used as a concert hall. The intimate setting and the church’s acoustics bring the musicians close to the audience, with performances that include solo passages as well as ensemble playing. The group’s repertoire includes works by Bach and Paganini alongside Vivaldi. Plan for a concert of about 90 minutes, and arrive early if you want a wider choice of seats.

Concerts at San Vidal

Interpreti Veneziani has performed in Venice since 1987. Its concerts take place at San Vidal, a former church now used as a concert hall. The setting brings the musicians and audience together in a relatively intimate space, with the building’s acoustics carrying the ensemble’s sound.

The programme includes Vivaldi and other Baroque composers, including Bach. Performances can also include works by Paganini. Solo sections give individual musicians room to lead, alongside passages played by the full ensemble.

The ensemble behind the performances

The group’s concert life relies on more than the musicians on stage. Il Pentagramma, a cooperative structure, supports the organisation, production and continuity of the concerts. By the 1990s, it was already helping sustain the season, and it continues to underpin the performances at San Vidal.

That structure connects the players with administration, ticketing, venue management and public support. The concerts keep Baroque repertoire in use within a historic church that remains part of Venice’s cultural and evening life.
