 violin,  live electronics & toy instruments

Luca Ciarla pays tribute to his favorite composer re-arranging with a contemporary touch and wisome of Johann Sebastian Bach’s greatest compositions. Bach into Myself also features original music by Luca Ciarla and other composers that have been strongly influenced by the German master. A surprising and informal concert, constantly in balance between writing and improvisation, traditional and contemporary sounds. The program features music by J. S. Bach, L. Ciarla, H. Villa-Lobos and A. Piazzolla. “It is jazz what Luca Ciarla plays but also baroque music and much more…everything seems so light, enchanting and beautiful, because the musician crosses the boundaries between musical genres, as they didn’t exist. Listening to him is an astonishing musical experience.” Wolfsburger Nachrichten (Germany)
A creative and surprising violinist, Luca Ciarla easily transcends the boundaries among genres to trace an innovative musical path, a magical acoustic seduction in perfect balance between written compositions and improvisation, traditional and contemporary sounds. He has successfully performed in jazz, classical and world music festivals and concert series in almost 50 countries in the world; from the Montreal Jazz Festival to the Melbourne Jazz Festival, from the Esplanade in Singapore to the National Arts Festival in South Africa, from the Madinat Theatre in Dubai to the Hong Kong Performing Arts Centre, from Celtic Connections in Scotland to the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Italy. “…one of the most interesting violinists nowadays on the international scene, capable of browsing around different sounds and genres without ever losing his unmistakable style.” la Repubblica (Italy)
