Italian violin alchemist Luca Ciarla creates his music with a loop pedal, his voice and several toy instruments. He performs in solo and strictly live all his orchestra score, playing the violin also like a guitar, a cello or a percussion instrument. In this imaginative musical landscape Luca sings, whistles, plays other instruments or adds new improvisations; music is continuously evolving into a dazzling solOrkestra. The program features original compositions imbued with Mediterranean atmospheres, with a minimalist flavor, along with unusual arrangements of the Italian folk tradition. “…a magical acoustic seduction where everybody can find familiar influences…from genuine folk to sophisticated jazz.” Il Fatto Quotidiano (Italy)

A creative and surprising violinist, Luca Ciarla easily overcomes the boundaries between genres to trace an innovative musical path, a magical acoustic seduction in perfect balance between writing and improvisation, tradition and contemporaneity. His unmistakable style has led him to perform successfully in jazz, classical and world music festivals and concerts in 70 countries around the world; from the Montreal Jazz Festival to the Performing Arts Center in Hong Kong, from Celtic Connections in Scotland to the Villa-Lobos Festival in Rio de Janeiro, from the Melbourne Jazz Festival to the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome. “… One of the most interesting violinists on the international scene today, capable of ranging between different genres and sounds without ever losing the center of gravity of his unmistakable style” («La Repubblica»).
