Mikrokosmos - Insieme Strumentale Italiano - It was born in Udine in 1989 and started an artistic route that quickly came to the attention of audiences and critics who recognized their characteristic emotional appeal, executive rush, and above all, their brilliant and original programs. The ensemble is marked by the different instrumental combinations that give them the opportunity to comply with the different demands of the chamber repertoire. They indeed propose formations that can be composed by a minimum number of performers or that can reach a chamber orchestra dimension. It’s been twenty-nine years since its foundation, and today MIKROKOSMOS represents a reality of unquestioned value, artistic collaborations with corporations and foundations, television and radio recordings and many discographic recordings.
