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
Luca Ciarla
A creative and innovative violinist, Luca Ciarla crosses the boundaries between genres, blending composition and improvisation, tradition and contemporary sounds. With his unique style he has performed in more than seventy countries worldwide, appearing at prestigious festivals and venues such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, Celtic Connections in Glasgow, Villa-Lobos Festival in Rio de Janeiro, the Melbourne Jazz Festival, Teatro La Fenice in Venice and the Dubai Opera.
Described by Italian Newspaper la Repubblica as “one of the most interesting violinists on today’s international scene,” he has collaborated with many renowned artists and founded Violipiano Music, a production company that manages his artistic activities in their entirety.
