Luca Ciarla SolOrkestra

Italian violin wizard Lica Ciarla owns the stage with his fiddle and a few toy instruments. Step by step, with a loop pedal, he perfoms live all the parts, playing the violin like a guitar, a cello or percussion.

In this imaginative landscape Luca sings, whistles, plays other instruments and adds new virtuosic passages; the music continuously evolves into a dazzling solo orchestra. The programme features unusual arrangements of traditional Italian folk tunes, music from the Mediterranean and original compositions.
