ESTASI E FURIA

Ecstasy and rage, adagio and allegro, sky and earth, voice and instruments, love and madness, aria and recitative, power and madness, ice storm and storm of notes… The palette of emotions is widely explored by Italian soprano Gemma Bertagnolli, one of the most accomplished singers of Baroque music. She is accompanied by Gli Archi del Cherubino, ensemble founded at L’Aquila by Judith Hamza, as a civil and cultural reaction to the 2009 tragic earthquake. A musical, human and civil experience, born amidst the ruins and the scaffoldings, for the pure pleasure of friendship and playing music together.
