Artemandoline is an ensemble dedicated to the mastery and dissemination of the mandolin's rich heritage, particularly within the realm of baroque music. Founded by the virtuosic Juan Carlos Muñoz and Mari Fe Pavón, this group has been at the forefront of reviving historical compositions and bringing to life the nuanced sounds of plucked string instruments that were prevalent in Europe several centuries ago. With a focus on historical accuracy and performance practice, Artemandoline has carved out a niche for themselves as connoisseurs of the mandolin and its relatives, like the mandola.

The ensemble's discography is a testament to their prowess and commitment to the mandolin repertoire. Among their most recent releases are works that showcase the grandeur of Italian Baroque music, including "Italian Baroque Mandolin Sonatas" and "Concerti Napoletani per Mandolino," which highlights compositions written specifically for the instrument. Their passion for unearthing and interpreting the subtleties of the baroque mandolin shines through in recordings like "Venice's Fragrance," capturing the essence and splendor of the city which was once a hub for mandolin composition. Artemandoline's expertise is not confined to the studio; they are also much sought-after performers, renowned for their engaging and meticulous live renditions of compositions such as Vivaldi's "Concerto for two Mandolins in G Major, RV 532." With each release and performance, Artemandoline continues to enchant audiences and solidify their status as ambassadors of the mandolin's historical repertoire.
