Maestro and Patron of BVA 2025

An expert on the field of Early Music, historic performance practice and dedicated supporter of young musical talents – and now our patron of BVA 2025!

We are extremely grateful to welcome Alessandro De Marchi, former artistic director of Innsbrucker Festwochen and initiator of one of the biggest Early Music competitions for singers – the Cesti Competition – back in our faculty. He will be working on the details of vocal chamber music of Alessandro Scarlatti and contemporaries.

It is an honour, Alessandro!
