Fringe: Il Parrasio

Fringe: Il Parrasio

This concert is part of the free fringe programme of the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2025.

Il Parrasio was founded in 2024 at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague by musicians from Italy, Slovenia, Japan, and the USA. Within months, the ensemble reached the finals of the CIMA Competition, earning a 2025/26 residency with William Christie at Thiré, and won top prizes at Premio Bonporti. They have performed at the Utrecht Early Music Festival and will appear at major European venues, supported by the S-EEEmerging program.
