A musical and introspective journey into Wonderland - a place as beautiful as it is uncanny, where the laws of nature no longer apply. Inspired by the classic Alice in Wonderland, Maddalena Del Gobbo embarks on a sonic voyage of discovery into a world where nothing is as it seems. Confusion and despair linger at every turn - and yet, hope remains. Despite all uncertainty and dramatic twists, everything ultimately falls into place, for in the end, goodness proves stronger. The program spans four centuries of music - from Tobias Hume (around 1600) to contemporary compositions - drawing a fascinating arc through time and space.

Maddalena Del Gobbo is an accomplished Italian musician who plays cello, viola da gamba, and baryton. She moved to Vienna at 13 to study cello, earning a master’s degree with distinction. She has trained with renowned cellists and performed as a soloist, chamber musician, and with the Vienna State Opera and Vienna Philharmonic members across Europe and Asia. Maddalena has taught at institutions like Accademia Stauffer and Scandinavian Cello School, and served as a competition juror. An expert in Haydn’s music, she recently gave a masterclass and published on the topic. While focusing on Baroque music recently, she is returning to classical and romantic cello repertoire.
