Italian Classical Consort

Italian Classical Consort is a chamber ensemble specializing in classical repertoire, with a particular focus on works featuring the clarinet and other wind instruments. The group brings together musicians from different countries, many of whom are active in major orchestras and conservatories in Italy and beyond. Known for their dedication to both original compositions and arrangements, the ensemble has recorded several albums for labels such as Gallo, Bayer Records, and Brilliant Classics, showcasing a wide range of chamber music from the classical era to lesser-known works by composers like Donizetti and Pokorný.

Led by clarinetist Luigi Magistrelli, Italian Classical Consort is recognized for its polished performances and commitment to historically informed practice. Their recordings often highlight the expressive and technical possibilities of the clarinet in ensemble settings, and they have contributed to the revival and appreciation of classical chamber works, especially those involving winds. With a flexible lineup and a passion for sharing the beauty of classical chamber music, the group continues to delight audiences with both familiar favorites and rare gems.
