The Artists

Daniele Caminiti
Theorbo
Daniele Caminiti is a lutenist and theorbo player specialised in historical performance practice. He performs as a soloist and chamber musician at major festivals across Europe. His playing is characterised by tonal subtlety, rhythmic precision and a deep understanding of historical styles. He regularly performs as a continuo player with Baroque ensembles.

Pietro Leemann – Pioneer of vegetarian gourmet cuisine
Pietro Leemann was born in Locarno in 1961 and opened the famous “Joia” in Milan in 1989. In 1996, it became the first vegetarian restaurant in Europe to be awarded a Michelin star. His dishes combine culinary precision, Zen philosophy, sustainability and originality. In 2025, Leemann established “Terra Vecchia – Bordei”, an eco-village in the Centovalli, complete with a sanctuary and an osteria.

Maurice Steger
Recorder
Maurice Steger is regarded as the leading recorder player of our time and has redefined the instrument as a medium for soloists. He performs worldwide as a soloist and conductor. Ensembles such as the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Il Pomo d’Oro and the Kammerorchester Basel perform regularly with him. In 2021, he was awarded the Karajan Prize. At classicAscona, he leads the Baroque Academy.
