About
By borrowing the name of a TCCATA by the Italian-born German composer GIROLAMO KAPSBERGER, CHRISTINA PLUHAR set the tone that would rule the fate of the arpeggata, a vocal and instrumental that was founded in 2000.
L'Arpeggiata brings together artists from various musical backgrounds, established on both sides of Europe and the world, around program-projects, cleverly concocted by Christina Pluhar according to her musicological research, her meetings, the curiosity that drives him and his immeasurable talent. The sound of the ensemble, which is formed around the plucked strings, is immediately identifiable.
Since its inception, L'Arpeggiata has aimed to explore the rich music of the little-known repertoire of early Baroque Roman, Neapolitan and Spanish composers. The ensemble has given itself as guiding principles the instrumental improvisation and research on the instrumentarium in the purest baroque tradition, as well as the creation and staging of "event" shows. It thus promotes the meeting of music and song with other baroque disciplines, inseparable in their time, such as dance and theater, and openness to various musical genres, such as jazz and traditional music.
True invitations to dream, the programs of L'Arpeggiata revive the surprise, the unexpected, and restore the Baroque to its original meaning: a pearl of irregular shape (16th century), an astonishing element (18th century). Works from the Baroque period offer the Arpeggiata a setting of freedom where artists from here and elsewhere flourish, where genres and traditions mingle, making each concert a unique encounter.
