Isabelle Faust live in Ravello

Experience Isabelle Faust live on September 5th

Isabelle Faust is a German violinist renowned for her historically informed interpretations and insightful musicality. Her performances are characterized by a clarity of tone, a refined technique, and a deep engagement with the composer’s intentions, often employing period instruments or historically appropriate setups. She frequently explores lesser-known repertoire alongside standard works, bringing a fresh perspective to both.

The concert on September 5th, 2026 will take place at Villa Rufolo in Ravello, Italy. Constructed primarily in the 13th century, the villa boasts a rich history linked to the powerful Rufolo family, prominent merchants and shipowners in medieval Amalfi. It gained significant cultural renown during the 19th century when composer Richard Wagner visited in 1880, inspired by its gardens and views to conceive the setting for the floral kingdom in his opera *Parsifal*.

Villa Rufolo is celebrated for its stunning terraced gardens overlooking the Amalfi Coast, providing a uniquely atmospheric venue for musical performances. The villa's architecture blends Norman, Arab and Byzantine styles reflecting its complex history and location within a region of diverse cultural influences.
