Annotation
The «Accademia Strumentale Italiana» was founded in Verona 1981 with the Specific purpose of recreating the atmospheres of those ancient and illustrious academies, where the pleasure of meeting one another gave a special flavour to making music together. Its repertoire encompasses instrumental and vocal music ranging from the Renaissance to the early Baroque, performed according to strict philological canons, but without compromising its ability to communicate with the present. The Accademia has performed intensively in Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany and has been invited to several international festivals where it has always met with widespread critical acclaim.
The members of the Accademia are all reknowned specialists in ancient music and have worked together with some of the most famous European ensembles, such as Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Hesperion XX, Il Giardino Armonico, La Reverdie, I Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca and others.
Since 1991 Alberto Rasi has been the ensemble's director. The ensemble is currently composed of consort of violas and lutes, which are joined by guest artists who are invited to partake in larger projects.
