David Garrett has chosen a backdrop of extraordinary beauty for his ICONIC Tour: the ancient theater of Taormina on the enchanting island of Sicily. Here, against the breathtaking backdrop of the Mediterranean coast and the majestic Mount Etna, the virtuoso violinist transports the audience into a world of musical magic. In this unique setting, Garrett presents captivating encore pieces and miniatures in new arrangements that truly captivate the audience. He pays homage to violin virtuosos such as Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, or Yehudi Menuhin, bringing their works to life in a new brilliance. Alongside him, the guitarist and arranger Franck van der Heijden, bassist Rogier van Wegberg, and the “Orchestra del Teatro di Messina“ under the passionate direction of Gianna Fratta showcase their brilliance. Special guest tenor Matteo Bocelli enchants the audience with powerful interpretations, including the moving “Ave Maria.“ Together, they create a compelling atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between classical and contemporary music, making the hearts of the audience beat faster. A concert film and musical spectacle that will be remembered.
