Pagine d'Organo®

International Organ Music Festival

PAGINE D'ORGANO® 2023

Pagine d'Organo® the International Organ Festival, is an  essential appointment
for fans of great organ music and the organ building art. 
The wealth of historical and more recently built organs present in Treviso and in the Marca
Trevigiana constitutes a rare artistic heritage which Antiqua Vox® wants to highlight
through five concerts held by internationally renowned musicians.

Pagine d'Organo® 2023 is enriched by the presence of a new protagonist, 
a historic organ that has been preserved almost intact over time: the De Lorenzi organ (1865) of the
Saint Cassiano's Church in Quinto di Treviso (TV). In addition to this precious example of nineteenth-century 
Venetian organ building art, you can listen to the timbral richness of the Dell'Orto and Lanzini organ (1990) 
ideal for Bach's music and the French-Baroque repertoire of the Church of San Giuseppe; the precious and 
oldest organ of Treviso built by the famous Venetian organ builder Pietro Nacchini (1750) of the Auditorium 
Santa Croce; and the symphonic-French style organ Andrea Zeni (1999) preserved in the Salgareda (TV)'s parish church.
A heritage of organ building art, expression of the aesthetic taste of different eras, which, for the
richness of timbral nuances and the peculiar characteristics of each instrument, allows the listner to
fully appreciate the beauty of the greatest organ pages.

All concerts are planned to bring the public closer to the organ and the organist and are
projected on a big screen so that the listener can clearly follow the organist in his succession
between keyboards and organ pedalboard.

 
Before each concert, Massimiliano Raschietti, the Festival artistic director, illustrates the
organ timbral characteristics and introduces the public to the listening with practical examples.
Furthermore, at the end of the concert, it is possible to take part in a guided tour to discover 
the instrument: an opportunity to understand a complex and little-known musical machine, and
therefore even more fascinating.
