Avi Avital, Alessia Tondo & Between Worlds: Italy

The final concert of the 21st Viva Musica! festival will be a celebration of diversity, colors, and musical flavors. Virtuoso mandolinist Avi Avital will arrive in Bratislava with his Between Worlds ensemble, which he founded in 2023 with the aim of exploring and discovering the intersections of classical, folk, and traditional music from different regions of the world. One of their first projects is the program Italy, dedicated to music from Italy — primarily from the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula — and the influences that have shaped it in both historical and contemporary contexts. “I’m thrilled to return to Bratislava and perform for an audience that holds a special place in my heart — this time with the most ambitious project I’ve created to date. Between Worlds brings together a rich mixture of musical languages and traditions, woven with emotion and energy — a truly electrifying experience,” said Avi Avital. The concert’s special guest will be the outstanding Italian world music singer Alessia Tondo. “I’m so proud of this opportunity to share this prestigious stage with a very special ensemble directed by amazing Maestro Avi Avital. I will try to bring with me all the warmth belonging to the popular music of my land in south of Italy, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It will be a very special concert full of energy,” added Alessia.

The rich program will feature traditional songs, passionate tarantellas, lively dances, and also famous classical works inspired by traditional Italian melodies and rhythms. Alongside the traditional music, the evening will also include works by the Neapolitan Baroque composer and violinist Emanuele Barbella, selections from Italian Suite by Igor Stravinsky, and a fascinating example of the Baroque ritornello form in Giuseppe Torelli’s Concerto Grosso in G minor No. 6, Op. 8. The result is a vibrant celebration of musical diversity: old and new, classical and traditional, local and universal. As audiences enjoy the beauty of the music, they are invited to uncover hidden corners, make subtle connections, and reimagine our shared sense of belonging across the world.

We kindly inform our esteemed audience that the concert Avi Avital & Between Worlds will be recorded in cooperation with Rádio Devín for radio broadcast purposes.
