Luca Ciarla Quartet by courtesy of the Italian Institute of Culture - South Africa

“Coinciding with Italy celebrating 150 years of democracy, the IIC has kindly sponsored a number of special cultural events with an Italian flavour. As part of their South African tour, the Luca Ciarla Quartet will be playing in Grahamtown's National Arts Festival, Volksbladfees (Bloemfontein), Pretoria, Potchefstroom and in Johannesburg, exclusively for Olde‘n’New Recitals at Glenshiel.

The quartet consists of Luca Ciarla (Violin and Electric Violin), Vince Abbracciante (Accordion), Nicola Di Camillo (Double Bass) and Francesco Savoretti (Percussion). You simply must visit their website www.violipiano.it  for more details on this fascinating group.

Their style and repertoire is a blend of the Classical and interprative. I hesitate to confine them to the usual definitions of Classical or Jazz or Folk.  They are highly skilled, unusual and  entertaining! And they've been just about everywhere in the world and everyone loves their music.

This is going to be utterly unmissable !! Book now to avoid disappointment!!” – Saul Bamberger in association with The Order of St. John
