PERIOD INSTRUMENT ENSEMBLES
Cappella della Pietà de' Turchini
Founded in 1987 by Antonio Florio , the Cappella della Pietà de' Turchini is made up primarily of young instrumentalists and singers living and working in Naples who specialise in the performance of Neapolitan music from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries; in particular music by highly gifted composers who are now largely unknown, such as Provenzale, Trabaci, Veneziano, Nola, Netti, Caresana, Sabino and so on.

The unique programmes and rigorous approach to Baroque performing practices make the Cappella one of the most interesting realities in musical life in Italy, and indeed in Europe. The Ensemble has been invited to take part in a large number of musical events both in Italy and further afield: Festival Monteverdiano di Cremona, Festival dell'Accademia Filarmonica Romana, Accademia di Santa Cecilia di Roma, Festival de Versailles, Festival de Nancy, Rencontres de Musique Ancienne de Ribeauvillé, Nantes, Metz, Caen, Lisbona, Festival de Marseille, Festival d'Ambronay, Festival de Utrecht, Festival de Otono de Madrid, Festival di Musica Antica de Tel Aviv, Festival Schleswig Holstein in Germany, Cité de la Musique de Paris, Fundació La Caixa e Palau de la Musica de Barcellona, Teatro Lope de Vega de Seviglia, Konzerthaus in Vienna, Théatre La Monnaie et Festival de Wallonie in Bruxelles, Fondation Royaumont.

In addition it has collaborated with il Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Teatro Massimo di Palermo, l'Ente Lirico di Cagliari, Teatro San Carlo di Napoli, Teatro Comunale di Ferrara, Teatro Ponchielli di Cremona. The ensemble has made recordings for Radio France, the BBC, and Belgian, Spanish and Austrian radio. In 1998 the Cappella was featured in a documentary realized by Belgian television and in a film entirely devoted to Opera Buffa for the French-German company ARTE. The group has been particularly prolific in the recording studio, making seven CDs for the Bolognese company Symphonia, all featuring unpublished works from the Neapolitan Baroque repertoire, some of which won international critics' prizes: choc musique and Premio Vivaldi from the Fondazione Cini di Venezia. Since 1996 the group has recorded with the prestigious label Opus 111 in Paris, for whom thirteen CDs have already appeared in the series Trésors de Naples. Among the numerous international awards feature the Record of the Year in 1996 from Le Monde, Premio Vivaldi from the Fondazione Cini di Venezia, the Premio speciale Franco Abbiati from the Associazione Nazionale Critici Musicali, 1997 and Diapason d'or for Li Zite 'ngalera, 1999.
