Accademia Strumentale Italiana
Accademia Strumentale Italiana was founded in Verona with
the specific purpose of recreating the atmospheres of those ancient and
illustriuos academies, where the pleasure of meeting one another gave a
special flavour to making music together. Its repertoire encompasses
instrumental and vocal music ranging from the Renaissance to the early
Baroque, performed according to strict philological canons, but without
compromising its ability to comunicate with the present: its musicians are
convinced that even if the score is ancient, Music is always timeless.
The Accademia has performed extensively in Europe and has been
invited to several international festivals where it has always met with
widespread critical acclaim.
The members of the Accademia are all renowned specialists in HIP and
work together with some of the most famous European ensembles, such as
Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Hesperion XXI, la Reverdie, Europa
Galante, Il Pomo d’Oro and others.
The Accademia Strumentale Italiana won the “Midem Classical
Award 2007” with the CD Dolcissimo Sospiro containing music by Giulio
Caccini and others.
After about 30 CDs for Stradivarius and Divox Antiqua, from 2020 the
Accademia starts its collaboration with Challenge Records.
Since 1991 Alberto Rasi has been the group’s musical director: the
ensemble is currently composed of consort of violas, who are joined by
guest artists who are invited to partake in larger projects.
