The Innovantiqua Winterthur festival is taking place for the sixth time after a one-year break.
pd. This year's motto is nuevo mundo antiguo. Five ensembles and artists from Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Germany, Italy, Winterthur, Zurich and Basel combine the old world (Europe) with the new world (Latin America) with their music. In addition to six concerts and three musical workshops for amateurs and advanced students, there will be three new introductory panel discussions. As ensemble in residence, Grupo Anima from Brazil will open the festival with traditional and Indian music from Brazil as well as early music from Spain and Portugal. Luiz Alves da Silva and his Ensemble Turicum invite the audience on a journey to 15th and 16th century Portugal with the music of the explorers. Other performers include Ann Allen, director of the Nox Illuminata festival in Basel, the Roland Fink Singers from Winterthur and the La Chimera ensemble with the voices of Susanna Moncayo and Furio Zanasi.
