Azione Improvvisa Ensemble - First glimpse (2020)

Azione_Improvvisa is an ensemble that connects different musical approaches and experiences, a synergic contribution between different ages instruments, aimed to reach new and experimental identity. From an idea of the italian composer Raul Masu, the ensemble is composed by musicians operating in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Belgien.
In addition to music concerts, the ensemble is often involved in educational activities and workshops, with the aim to focus on different aspects of the “comporaneity”.
Many composers have written for Azione_Improvvisa, above all Giorgio Colombo Taccani, Stefano Alessandretti, Nicola Straffelini, Dan di Maggio.
The ensemble was invited to have a concert in “Musica Insieme Festival” 2019 in Panicale, collaborating with Ernest von Siemens Stiftung, “Contrasti 2018”, a contemporary music festival based in Trento.
Azione_improvvisa performed for Pergine Festival 2018 and on that occasion shows an interactive musical installation which uses “The Kites” technology, already used in a pedagogical project exhibited at the Musikhochschule Trossingen (DE). The project was then proposed again in the “Musicitem” season for the cultural project in_Colto, promoted by Alchemica association and MUSE in Trento.
The ensemble is among the founders and part of Anomalia – pratiche artistiche contemporanee.
In January 2019, Azione_Improvvisa joined #theWorkRoom project, promoted by Fattoria Vittadini in cooperation with Fondazione Milano, and won an artistic residence at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan.
In the same month, Parade – a selection of guitar works by Giorgio Colombo Taccani – was released by Guitart Label. Parade includes the recording of Blind Trust, dedicated to the ensemble.
