Avalokite Duo - The Spirit of Sound: Works for Harp and Percussion

The Avalokite Duo (harp and percussion) resulted from 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. They were driven by a desire to promulgate contemporary music and highlight popular music through the use of typical folk instruments, merging the styles and cultures of different peoples through music. The repertoire of the Avalokite Duo, which includes the transcription and adaptation of important classical and popular pieces, is unique. Its fascination arises from the peculiar and ever-changing sounds of the countless percussion instruments used, and of the characteristic, colourful effects provided by the harp.
