A duo that sounds like an Orchestra

The repertoire of the two internationally renowned musicians, which includes original and traditional compositions together with those of great authors, explores the fusion that has been created between Italian musical traditions and those that the Accordion and Violin, instruments born in Italy, have encountered during their history, coming into contact with other musical cultures. The result is a great variety of rhythms and colors, of interpretation and improvisation, of tradition and innovation.

The Duo toured many cities around Europe: Berlin, Munich, Lyon, Paris, Zurich, Bruxelles, Strasbourg... They played live for theatre dramas with renowned actors (Matthias Martelli, Anna Maria Guarnieri).

Matteo Castellan, accordionist, pianist and composer born 1973, has worked in Italy and abroad (U.K., France, Spain, Germany, Greece, Switzerland, Romania) with important artists like Giorgio LiCalzi, Giampaolo Casati, Flaco Biondini, Matthias Martelli, Guido Catalano.
He has licensed many albums for prestigious labels (Abeat, VirginExtraLabel, ConcertOne), and composed original music for theater.
With is group "Orchestra da Tre Soldi" he won the Best Jazz Italy 2008.
