PROSCENIO ENSEMBLE

PROSCENIO ENSEMBLE born in 2016 from a project by Stefano Ongaro. As a whole, the group offers ample space to the voice which accompanies the timbres of the clarinet, bass clarinet, basset horn and other instruments such as piano, strings and other wind instruments.

Proscenio Ensemble, for its research work and for the proposed repertoire, has been invited in several international clarinet festivals.
In this publication, entitled "SONS OUBLIÉS – le sonorità dimenticate", the project focuses and retraces the first classical-romantic compositions written for bass clarinet and basset horn (two instruments invented in the 18th century) in the orchestral and chamber repertoire, trying to enhance their voice and ductility. The rediscovery of the first bass clarinet solos in orchestra and chamber music for bass clarinet and basset horn in duo with piano is curated by the musicians Stefano Ongaro and Cristiano Zanellato.
