Conductor, violinist, teacher, grown up in his parents' antiquarian atelier in Ravenna, surrounded by the beauty of the past from the beginning of his musical studies, Enrico Onofri has developed a deep passion for historical performances, exploring the repertoire from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, and thus creating its own personal language through the knowledge of ancient practices, intended as extraordinary sources of inspiration for new ideas and panoramas in interpretation.
