A momentous series of 81 commissions for solo cello

Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera (c.1480) and Charline von Heyl’s Primavera 2020 are the inspiration for THE PRIMAVERA PROJECT — celebrating a rich tapestry of distinct and diverse compositional voices with recordings, videos, live and virtual events, and ultimately a multimedia theatrical production.

59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia

In April-November 2022, THE PRIMAVERA PROJECT was selected and featured in the world premiere exhibition of von Heyl’s iconic Primavera 2020 painting in the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia curated by Cecilia Alemani, displaying a special playlist Primavera a Venezia in collaboration with  von Heyl’s painting, accessible by QR code and featuring curated musical compositions for this historic exhibition.
