The programme of this concert refers to one incarnation of the Arcadia myth, a hugely influential one in the Italian Renaissance. L’Arcadia was the title of a widely read pastoral novel (mixing prose and poetry) written by Neapolitan Iacopo Sannazaro: it decisively contributed to inaugurate, at the beginning of Cinquecento, a renewed and long-lasting international fashion for the pastoral style.
