divertimento per li regazzi

Music, painting and literature have always inspired one another. A poem by Dorothy Molloy evokes memories of sounds in Clara Iannotta, whilst Helena Cánovas Parés translates the physicality of a quote from a novel by the Catalan author Mercè Rodoreda into music.
Johannes Schöllhorn, for his part, draws inspiration from Domenico Tiepolo’s series of paintings «Divertimento per li regazzi» to create a grand musical sequence of images. Sharp and vivid moments meet melancholic, morbid and obsessive soundscapes, whilst simultaneously making the connections between our present and a past that was by no means idyllic audible.

Gare du Nord X Basel Sinfonietta Combo Ticket
With the «Gare du Nord X Sinfonietta Combo Ticket», you can experience two concerts with one ticket: «divertimento per li regazzi» by Trio Catch on 20 May 2027 at Gare du Nord and «Verkehr» by Basel Sinfonietta on 30 May 2027 at Pantheon Basel. The combo ticket saves you 20% compared to purchasing two individual tickets.

For «Verkehr», Pantheon Basel itself becomes a resonant space: surrounded by classic cars and automotive history, Basel Sinfonietta, conducted by Titus Engel, explores movement, transport and their sonic worlds. One of the highlights of the programme is a new work by Gemma Ragués Pujol, which responds musically to the unique performance venue. The programme also features solo works performed by Sarah Maria Sun and Simone Zgraggen. Details about the concert «Verkehr» on 30 May 2027: → baselsinfonietta.ch
