 “Oboist Alfredo Bernardini plays with a range of color, wit, and sensuality.” – Audiophile Audition

Italian oboist Alfredo Bernardini is one of the world’s leading baroque directors and instrumentalists. His personality and charm pours from his playing and we are delighted to welcome him back to work with IBO in our Concert Season 2018.

Alfredo presents a programme entitled Born in 1685. 1685 was a mementous year for music with three master composers all born in the same year- Bach, Handel and Scarlatti. The programme charts their musical contirbutions to the baroque period and showcases the virtuosic playing and directing of Alfredo.
