Ensemble Mare Nostrum

Ensemble Mare Nostrum is an Italian early music group specializing in reviving Baroque treasures, particularly focusing on lesser-known works by composers like Alessandro Stradella. Led by violinist/conductor Andrea De Carlo, the ensemble brings fiery energy to 17th-century repertoire through historically informed performances, often dusting off forgotten manuscripts from Italian archives. Their recent dive into Stradella's sacred dramas and operas—like *Santa Pelagia* and *La forza delle stelle*—showcases their knack for dramatic storytelling through vivid instrumental colors and expressive vocal lines. Alongside their Stradella explorations, they've also highlighted contemporaries like Marco Marazzoli and Gesualdo da Venosa, proving their dedication to making Europe's musical past feel thrillingly present.
