As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026, Italian Capital of Culture, the “B. Barattelli” L’Aquila Concert Society presents an event of extraordinary charm and originality for the 30th edition of the Organ and Early Music Festival “Music and Architecture – Places of Time and Music.”

The featured artist is French violinist Emmanuelle Dauvin, who performs a solo repertoire of the highest caliber, including works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, Johann Georg Pisendel, and Nicola Matteis. The truly distinctive feature of her performance lies in the unique technique that has redefined Dauvin’s solo career since 2017: playing the violin while simultaneously accompanying herself on the organ pedals—a spectacular historical practice she herself has dubbed “OVNI Baroque” (Organ-Violin New Interpretation), which has been acclaimed at major European festivals.

Trained at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, the Schola Cantorum in Basel, and the School of Arts in Ghent, Emmanuelle Dauvin has collaborated with world-renowned ensembles and recently achieved success at the prestigious H.I.F. Biber Competition in Austria. She performs on a violin attributed to Antonio Mariani from 1663, accompanying herself with a Hauptwerk sound bank pedalboard, custom-built in 2023 by Manufaktur Blumenroeder using recordings of historic organs.
