Ensemble Arte Musica is a musical ensemble founded and directed by Francesco Cera. The ensemble specializes in Italian music from the Renaissance to the early Classical period, interpreting works like Carlo Gesualdo's madrigals and Claudio Monteverdi's compositions. They have recorded a variety of albums, including sacred music by Giovanni Paolo Colonna and motets by composers from Venice. Known for their innovative and historically grounded approach to Baroque vocal repertoire, Ensemble Arte Musica comprises chamber music and opera soloists, with some instrumentalists coming from prominent groups like Il Giardino Armonico and I Barocchisti. The ensemble made its concert debut at the Flanders Festival in Bruges in 1997 and has received acclaim for their releases on the Tactus label.
Recent releases by Ensemble Arte Musica include notable works such as *Rasi: La cetra di sette corde*, *Monteverdi: Lamento d'Arianna - Scherzi musicali cioe arie et madrigali*, and *Ghirlanda Sacra - Il Mottetto a voce sola a Venezia*. Their repertoire reflects a deep exploration of Italian Baroque music, often focusing on both well-known and lesser-known composers of the era.
