Sailing at the 2024 medici.tv musical Olympics
Featuring Debussy, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Vivaldi, and Handel
Program notes
As Paris celebrates the Olympic Games in 2024, medici.tv invites you to play along at home in our special musical Oympics! Five events, nine nationalities, 19 composers, and three weeks to decide who will take home the gold… It's up to you to vote for your favorite pieces and composers from July 26 - August 11 and help them advance in the medal standings.
A cruise on a windless blue expanse or a life-threatening adventure on a tempest-tossed sea — in music as in sailing, one can find oneself at the mercy of the elements. Which of our finalists makes you yearn most for a sweet sea breeze: Debussy's La Mer, Schubert's "Trout" Quintet, Mendelssohn's The Hebrides, Vivaldi's La Tempesta di Mare, or Handel's Water Music?
