Spirit of Sound

The Avalokite Duo (harp and percussion) was created out of the enthusiasm of two colleagues and teachers, Patrizia Boniolo and Guido Facchin, who wished to acquaint the public with the concert harp and the heterogeneous world of percussion instruments in a chamber context, driven by the aim to promulgate contemporary music and, also, highlight popular music through the use of typical folk instruments, so as to merge, in music, the styles and cultures of different peoples. The repertoire of the Avalokite Duo, which includes the transcription and adaptation of important classical and popular pieces, is unique and fascinating due to the peculiar and ever-changing sounds of the countless percussion instruments used, and of the characteristic color effects provided by the harp.
