Northern Italian trio Ensemble Sangineto – Caterina and Adriano Sangineto and Jacopo Ventura – skillfully blend ancient harmonies and sonorities with modern rhythms. The wide-ranging musical experiences of the individual members converge to create fresh and sparkling arrangements of traditional Irish, Scottish, Breton, and Italian tunes, as well as original compositions that display influences from many varied musical genres ranging from classical to folk, from Gregorian chant to jazz, 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 a three-voice polyphonic vocal texture evoking dreamlike and airy atmospheres, which are simultaneously joyful and light.

Ensemble Sangineto has been described as “A wonderful window into the culture and passion behind their Italian roots in music” [New Spire Arts, MD]; “Incredible – one of THE most fantastic acts we’ve ever hosted!” [Modesto Unplugged, CA], “Off the beaten path from the norm . . . refreshing – obviously a very talented trio” [White Horse Black Mountain, NC]; and “A unique ensemble indeed.” [Carnegie Hall, NY]
