ELLYPTICA ENSEMBLE- 'Viaggio nella Terra Barocca'

Description

The denomination 'Ellyptica' originates from the elliptical movement one finds in all Baroque art works, figurative art, architecture, dance, music. During the Baroque period Copernicus's heliocentric model gained much renown and Johannes Kepler discovered the elliptical movement of planets. A new vision of the cosmos came up thanks to these discoveries, influencing artists and art in general.

 

'The circle being an entirely quiet and stable form, the oval on the contrary is restless and apparently wants to change at any time'( Heinrich Wolflinn, Fundamental principles of art history, 1915).

 

The Ellyptica Ensemble was born in 2004 and consists of young musicians of different nationalities, specialized in old music, all of them in possession of a degree at the Brussels Royal Conservatory.


The Ellyptica Ensemble reintroduces long forgotten music to a large public, basing themselves on historical research.
The ensemble plays old instruments, as the 'violoncello da spalla', much used in Italy and Germany during the 17th and first half of 18th century, to be replaced later by the modern cello.
Ellyptica has participated in numerous festivals of old music in
Brussels, Denderleeuw, Namur etc.
