L'Antidote live in Monforte d'Alba

Experience L'Antidote live on July 19th

L'Antidote is a French ensemble specializing in historically informed performance practice of Baroque and Classical era music. Their interpretations are noted for a vibrant, emotionally expressive approach, often incorporating improvisation within the stylistic conventions of the period. The group typically performs with a small instrumental lineup, focusing on chamber music repertoire and vocal works, frequently exploring lesser-known composers alongside established masters.

The Auditorium Horszowski is located in Monforte d'Alba, within the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy. Originally constructed as a chapel in the 17th century, it underwent significant renovation and was inaugurated as a concert hall in 2018. The auditorium is named in honour of Mieczysław Horszowski, a renowned Polish pianist who spent his childhood summers in Monforte d’Alba and maintained a lifelong connection to the area.

The space is specifically designed with acoustics suited for chamber music and solo instrumental performances. Its intimate setting aims to foster a close connection between performers and audience members. The building itself represents an integration of historical architecture with modern acoustic engineering, making it a notable venue for early music performance in Italy. The auditorium regularly hosts concerts featuring both local and international artists specialising in classical music.
