Corelli forged the concerto grosso in Rome, Respighi celebrated its beauty, and Nino Rota composed countless film scores there. For Handel, the Eternal City played a defining role during his early years as a composer, even though his opera dedicated to Rome’s most famous emperor was written in London. This tribute concert to the Eternal City also marks the debut of contralto Rose Naggar-Tremblay and young conductor Kyrian Friedenberg with Les Violons du Roy.
