About this Event
Ensemble Sangineto is an eclectic group that seamlessly blends ancient harmonies and sonorities with modern rhythms. Drawing on the rich musical backgrounds of its members, the ensemble crafts fresh arrangements that span traditional Irish, Scottish, Breton, and Italian tunes, as well as original compositions influenced by a wide array of genres—from classical and folk to Gregorian chant, musical theater, pop, and Celtic music.
Formed in 2000 by twins Adriano and Caterina Sangineto, the group’s origins lie in a deep familial connection to music; as children of renowned harp and psaltery maker Michele Sangineto, the twins were immersed in ancient musical traditions from an early age. They later encountered popular music, with a special preference for the Irish, Breton, and French traditions.
The ensemble’s unique sound is defined by the delicate interplay between the ethereal tones of the harp and bowed psaltery with the rhythmic textures of the guitar and the intricacy of the three-voice polyphony. This combination evokes dreamlike and airy atmospheres that are simultaneously joyful and light.
Over the years, Ensemble Sangineto has evolved, embracing new challenges and broadening its artistic vision. Today, the ensemble is further enriched by the contributions of guitarist and bouzouki player Jacopo Ventura, who joins the original duo to help drive its' creative journey.
Tickets may also be purchased at the door. Refreshments, including beer and wine, will be available by donation.
