Making their Aotearoa debut, Ensemble Sangineto are travelling all the way from Italy to tour New Zealand this summer. Beginning at the Whare Flat folk Festival and finishing at the New Zealand Harp Festival, the trio will play a variety of small halls, festivals and community venues in between. (Full tour dates below)
Ensemble Sangineto is an eclectic band which blends skilfully 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.
The delicate combination of the pure and magic tones of the harp and of the bowed psaltery with the guitar intermingle with the three voice-polyphonic texture evoking dreamlike and airy atmospheres, which are simultaneously joyful and light.
