An enchanting musical journey with the Alchimea Chamber Group to explore the marvels of the newly rediscovered Regional Museum of Natural Sciences of Turin. The ensemble returns to the museum in a unique formation featuring Walter Matacena and Stella Aurora Mattea on violins, Fabrice De Donatis on cello, Sara Terzano on Celtic and modern harps, and Roberto Mattea on percussion. The colorful repertoire spans from Classical to World Music, from Tango to Film Music, reshaping the imaginary diary of an explorer captivated by the beauty of Nature through the art of sound.
