ACCADEMIA AMIATA ENSEMBLE
The Accademia Amiata Ensemble was founded in the nineties in Tuscany. The group has been successful on concert tours from inception. The proficiency of the musicians, the high level performances and the exceptional programs with compositions by Messiaen, Bartók, Fortmann, Piazzolla, Walton have always caused great enthusiasm among audience and critics. CD productions and radio recordings have followed. One of the CDs, ‘Tango Catolico’, became a kind of ‘Classical Hit' in Europe and America.
The activities of the Ensemble initiated the Accademia Amiata and the Festival ‘Toscana delle Culture'. In 2004, Tommy Fortmann together with Marco Falaschi (Saxophone) and Carlo Alessandro Lapegna (Piano), two of the most outstanding Italian musicians and renowned professors at the State Conservatories, gave a new impulse to the Ensemble, in widening its scope with new musical experimentations. |
