Don Roberto Ravazzolo, introduction
The weekend of June 20 and 21 is enriched by three extraordinary concerts organized by the Friends of Music dedicated to the performance of the six Biblical Sonatas by Johann Kuhnau (1660-1722).
A prolific German composer of the generation before Bach, Kuhnau, driven by the desire to “depict” in music passages from the Bible, was inspired by some texts from the Old Testament and composed a collection of six sonatas for keyboard instrument, which were published in 1700.
Three concerts:
Saturday 20/6/2026 at 4:00 p.m. & 6:30 p.m.
Sunday 21/6/2026 at 11:00 a.m.
Padua – Church of S. Gaetano, Via Altinate 73
Free admission until seats are filled
