Charles Boccadoro

Sentieri selvaggi and the great American composers have been dating each other since the first concerts of the ensemble, which was born to Milan in 1997 to introduce contemporary music to to an ever-widening audience. The key to this dialogue was precisely American contemporary music, then little appreciated by Italian cultural realities but capable of a communicative immediacy that European avant-garde experiences often lacked.

"Classical music naturally coexists with pop, rock and music from from all over the world; it is not a language excluded from everyday life; on the contrary, it absorbs its influences and repurposes them in its own right, proposing an ever-changing and engaging point of view. This confidence in the future continues to be the lifeblood that drives many composers to write operas, symphonies, concertos for solo instruments, using the forms of the past as containers into which to pour new ideas," writes ensemble artistic director Carlo Boccadoro.

Sentieri selvaggi

Sentieri selvaggi was founded in 1997 with the aim of bringing contemporary music closer to the general public. The ensemble's debut to Milano records sold-out performances, from the very beginning the concerts are characterized by the informal spoken presentations of each piece. Sentieri selvaggi forges collaborations with the most important composers on the international scene - such as David Lang, Louis Andriessen, James MacMillan, Philip Glass, Gavin Bryars, Michael Nyman, Julia Wolfe, Fabio Vacchi, - and promotes a new generation of Italian composers such as Carlo Boccadoro, Francesco Antonioni, Silvia Colasanti, Giovanni Mancuso, Mauro Montalbetti and Giovanni Verrando.

The Ensemble is a regular guest of major Italian music seasons and important international festivals. Since 2009 it has been ensemble in residence at Teatro Elfo Puccini with its own season of contemporary music. It has recorded for Einaudi, RaiTrade, MN Records, Velut Luna, Sensible Records, Deutsche Grammophon (2017, Le Sette Stelle).
