About the pitch
What would happen if Monteverdi and some Baroque companions had travelled to South America? Or if Tom Jobim had to play his songs on a baroque guitar?
Well, we decided to take this journey last year and the result was a recording of our first CD.
The repertoire recorded is a combination of traditional Baroque songs and Latin American modern repertoire. The idea was to bring our own personal influences to the conventional way of playing baroque music as well as bringing a different colour to the instrumentation of some well known bossa nova and Latin American songs.
The result was extremely good and it brings an exciting approach to the traditional way of performing some well know repertoire from different eras. Our main goal is to close the musical gap between “old and new “ and make this music accessible to music lovers of all tastes!
Here's how you can help:
The CD has been recorded and we are now on the final stages of finalizing the mix, cover and booklet design, mastering and sending it to a plant for replication. Our idea is to pre-sell as many CDs as we can to allow us to finish this great project.
No matter how much you invest, you will get your reward!
We have 60 days to raise the money and this is how it works:
IF WE REACH OUR GOAL OF £3000
* The project goes ahead
* You receive your reward (good one!)
IF WE DON'T REACH OUR GOAL OF £3000
* The project does NOT go ahead
* You receive your money back

About Il Festino
The name Il Festino (a small party) refers to the madrigal comedy “II festino nella sera del giovedì grasso avanti cena”by Adriano Banchieri 1568-1634. In this piece the composer brought a new and different language to music performances. Using his progressive philosophies of literature and art, Banchieri also brought the “Commedia del arte”into his music creating a complete different experience for the audience.
Inspired by Banchieri’s philosophy, Il Festino has been created to bring a unique perspective to the interpretation of music from Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque periods and beyond!
The Ensemble has great passion and interest for interpreting the music of established baroque figures as well as exploring less well-known Spanish and Latin American composers. Positively averse to boredom, they also enjoy bringing a new approach to the performance of modern music, which makes their performances even more attractive and inviting to all types of public.
Their programmes are sometimes thematic, at other times strongly conceptual or experimental, always showing a deep sense of inspiration. They bring the cultural heritage to life in a unique fashion: departing from a deep respect for the past that manifests itself in musicological research, the use of authentic instruments and historical singing, playing and improvisation techniques, but also adding their own creative elements.
Il Festino is synonymous, above all, with energy, great team spirit and enthusiasm in bringing together extreme inspiring and entertaining performances. Itconsists of a strong group of musicians who have gained their reputation in the Early Music, Classical and Jazz Scenario.
Its contrasting yet complementary personalities and cultural backgrounds combined with their outstanding talent make this group very appealing and interesting. Open to every form of art, Il Festino aims to bring the roots of the “Commedia del arte” to its performances by incorporating dance, acting, humour and poetry to their concerts, always looking for unrivalled music interpretation.
