Sydney Concert Program

Luca Ciarla – Mediterramìa

Italian violinist Luca Ciarla draws a new musical route in the Mediterranean with a loop pedal, his voice and a few toy instruments. He performs solo and strictly live the entire score of his band, playing the violin also like a guitar, a cello or a percussion. In this imaginative soundscape Luca sings, whistles, plays other instruments and adds new improvisations; music continuously evolves into a dazzling solOrkestra.
The program Mediterramìa features unusual arrangements of traditional Italian folk tunes, music from the Mediterranean area and original compositions.

“…a magical acoustic seduction where everybody can find familiar influences…from genuine folk to sophisticated jazz.” – Il Fatto Quotidiano
