noun

The term intermezzi designates points in music that come in between two major sections or movements. Many of the great composers have chosen intermezzi as a musical form to write some of their most exquisite music — such as the intermezzo from Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana or Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. Just as this global pandemic has caused a challenging “in-between” time for the performing arts, the chief goal of Intermezzi is to create meaningful and powerful performances of classical music to get us through these uncharted times.
