Fernabucco
The core of Fernabucco ensemble is a gamba duet, Julia Karpeta and Krzysztof Karpeta. From the beginning of its existence, the ensemble has focused its attention on the quality of sound, recognizing the style of the performed music, and communication with the audience. These musicians perform together since 2008. Their duet performance gave them 2nd place at the International Competition of Early Music in Żory in 2012. The ensemble performed, among other places, at the Bach Festival in Świdnica, L. van Beethoven Festival in Kraków, Actus Humanus in Gdańsk, Non Sola Scripta in Wrocław and MITO SettembreMusica in Italy.
The ensemble expands depending on their needs and they add theorbo, harpsichord and percussion instruments. Their repertoire includes 16th, 17th and 18th-century composers. Their authorial program „Viola da gamba – a musical journay through 16th-17th Europe” makes it possible for them to popularize this instrument and the legacy of the composers from those times.
Together, they recorded the album „Marin Marais & Antoine Forqueray” (Cd Accord), which gained recognition worldwide in enthusiastic reviews. The recordings with the Wrocław Baroque Ensemble have also been repeatedly appreciated with the Fryderyk music award.
Fernabucco will perform within the CellEAST Festival on May 12th and 13th 2024.
