Description
Born at the Lyon Conservatory, La Capriola brings Renaissance violin consorts back to life. Between research and creation, it explores a rich repertoire combining bows, voice and harp, and shares a lively immersion across Europe.
Pop'! Alba di festa is the echo of a festive night. While the taverns close their doors at the same time as the first stalls open, the festivities continue in the streets, featuring a band of violinists joined by a singer and a guitarist, determined to get the night birds dancing, as well as the day birds. Together, they sing of wine, bread, love and music, led in turn by a chimney sweep, a miller and a passing Spanish captain, under the accents of Orazio
Vecchi, Adrian Willaert, Bartolomeo Tromboncino, Filippo Azzaiolo, Juan del Encina and many others. For this lively and popular fresco of 16th-century southern Italy, Consort La Capriola offers a program with the air of a cabaret-concert, and invites you to a moment of sharing, intoxication and joy, where everyone can celebrate the timeless pleasures of life.
