La Compañia formed in 1997 to perform music of the renaissance and early baroque. Directed by Danny Lucin, the ensemble brings together Australia’s leading specialists on period instruments. La Compañia’s line-up includes a line up of historically important instruments, including cornetto, sackbuts, dulcian, shawm, viola da gamba, lute and percussion, allowing for an exciting and rich sound world. The ensemble was nominated in the The Age ‘Top Five 2010 Classical Concerts’ and in June 2012 made their European festival debut at the Tage Alter Musik Regensburg, Germany. La Compañia’s impressive array of period instruments – strings, wind and brass – allows for exciting sound combinations that bring alive the world of Early Music: in this case, 15thcentury Portugal. With their masterful use of improvisation and ornamentation, they have established a reputation for presenting innovative programs and dynamic performances. Based in Australia, their performance credits major Australian arts festivals, international feature films, television appearances, live radio broadcasts, and a debut CD released on ABC Classics El fuego.
