FiloBarocco was born from the meeting of its members in the chamber music contexts of the Como and Lugano conservatories. The ensemble made its debut in 2018 and immediately demonstrates a marked sonority and expressive alchemy, combined with the ability to explore the boundaries of the interpretation of the Baroque repertoire, often integrating other musical genres within the programmes. In its first years of activity, the group received the special mention for the "best project" at the "Marcello Pontillo" International Competition in Florence and self-produced a debut album in which baroque music is combined with elements of traditional music. The disc can be purchased only upon request and during the performances. Since 2020 al 2023 the group was selected for the prestigious EEEmerging+ program, cooperation project between the main international festivals dedicated to performing on historical instruments; has to his credit concerts in Italy, Switzerland, Francia, Spagna, Germany, Polonia, Latvia and Romania. FiloBarocco boasts the presence of stable members and valuable collaborations with internationally renowned chamber musicians and soloists, the most recent of which with flutist Erik Bosgraaf.
