:: Stefano (drums) and Andrea (keyboards) are playing some shows in a exciting project with Harmonices Mundi, an italian chamber orchestra by Gianfranco Contadini. They'll play together some shows in italian theatres with a tribute to Rondò Veneziano:
At the begininng created as a chamber orchestra, was afterwards elaborated adding many rhytmical elements to enhance the traditional forms of the 18th century: that's how classical elements (oboe, flauto, corno, strings, piano) and modern elements (drums, bass guitar, synth) live together in the compositions.
The main characteristic of the group is the originality and exclusiveness of its repertoire: sometimes they have performed music by Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach but the group usually performs original compositions by Gian Piero Reverberi (the main composer, arranger and producer) and the members always wear original costumes and wigs from the 18th century when on stage.
One after the other the albums recorded by Rondò Veneziano were certified gold and platinum in many different European countries, selling more than 25 millions copies.
