After the preview on 30 July, the 5th International Early Music Festival “Note Senza Tempo” gets underway .
Saturday 9 September, at 7 pm, the Chiostro dei Cappuccini in Ploaghe hosts the concert "Un Cavalier di Spagna" which will feature the excellence of Renaissance and Baroque singing Nadia Caristi in collaboration with the Dolci Accenti Ensemble, formed by Calogero Sportato on the theorbo , archlute and baroque guitar, Daniele Cernuto on voice and viola da gamba, and Cipriana Smarandescu on harpsichord.
The musical selection ranges through periods and styles with lyrics imbued with passion and pain , highlighting authors often forgotten by the general public such as D. Ortiz, Valente, Frescobaldi, Kapsberger, C. Negri, G. Caccini .
Nadia Caristi majored in classical piano and voice , exploring and ultimately committing herself to the historically informed performance practice of Renaissance and Baroque vocal repertoires . In 2019, as part of Leonardo's celebrations for the 500th anniversary of his death, he toured between China and Japan presenting a program dedicated to music at the time of Leonardo da Vinci. On the occasion of this anniversary he also released a solo CD published by Centaur Records with the lutenist Massimo Marchese.
The Dolci Accenti boasts artists from different artistic and cultural experiences , who met during the study courses of the Vicenza Conservatory where they specialized in the execution of the musical repertoire of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, deepening the study and research on original sources such as treatises, music, prints, manuscripts and chronicles of the time. Parallel to the interest in instrumental music of that period, they turned their attention to vocal music and its expressive potential , playing on copies of original instruments.
