Ensemble Sangineto

Italy’s Ensemble Sangineto, founded by the Sangineto twins Caterina and Adriano, is an eclectic band which blends skillfully ancient harmonies and sonorities with modern rhythms. The wide-ranging musical experiences of the individual members converge to create fresh arrangements of traditional Irish, Scottish, Breton & Italian tunes and original compositions that display influences from many varied musical genres ranging from classical to folk, from Gregorian chant to musical, from pop to Celtic music. Ensemble’s appearances range from performance halls in Europe to international festivals, including Brittany’s world-renowned Festival Interceltique de Lorient. The delicate combination of the pure and magic tones of Adriano’s harp and Caterina’s bowed psaltery with Jacopo Ventura on guitar intermingle with the three voice-polyphonic texture evoking dreamlike and airy atmospheres, which are simultaneously joyful and light.
