Il 4 October at the Palazzo del Marquis of Porto Torres the whole Future Orpheus presents “Around a ground” for the international festival of ancient music “Notes without ttime”.
Around a ground
The program is a journey of sonatas and ostinati typical of the Italian seventeenth century through a wide area of coincidence between instrumental music and dance music, home to exchanges between classical music and popular music: a Bergamo, courtship dance originating from the city of Bergamo probably composed on a fifteenth-century song of Tuscan origin in the reworked and enriched version by Uccellini; one chaice, dance of Ibero-American origins with strong ethnic and erotic connotations banned in 1615 from theatrical performances for his contagious and consolidated inclination towards lust, in Merula and Corelli's version; the Grand Duke's Ball originally a choral stage dance composed by E. of’ Cavalieri then became an epithalamic dance placed at the conclusion of the Florentine intermediates of 1589 in Buonamente's version. Di Falconiero l'ostinato Passacaglia and the Battle of Barabaso son-in-law of Satan if he interposed the famous Follia, processional theme of Iberian origin derived from the term folias (sheet) in Andrea Falconiero's version.
Orfeo Futuro brings together musicians from different international experiences in the field of historical performance practices. He works on new and wide-ranging projects, in particular by crossing ancient and contemporary repertoires. He performs regularly in approx 50 concerts per year, in Italy and abroad and has created numerous CDs also in collaboration with other artists and groups.
Orfeo Futuro also participates in new music projects: In the 2019 created De L'Infinito, with music by Claudio Monteverdi and the composer Gianvincenzo Cresta (1968) in collaboration with the prestigious vocal ensemble Spirito di Lyon, under the direction of Nicole Corti, which debuted at the Venice Music Biennale and then toured Italy and France.
With the same vocal ensemble in 2022 he recorded Claudio Monteverdi's Missa in Illo Tempore on a CD for Digressione Music.
In the 2024 he toured Italy and France with Il Tempo della Voce, in co-production with MusicaTreize of Marseille.
With the support of Puglia Sounds, last September he toured northern France and Catalonia with a program of early 18th century Italian music, which was a huge success with the public.
