VIOLA ALBERTINE
Viola Albertine is a musician who grew up between Ticino and Geneva. Alongside her studies in ethnomusicology at the University of Geneva, she pursued historical harp with Maria C. Cleary at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, and Bel Canto in Bologna with Miguel Curti.
With a background in fine arts, geography, dance, and piano, she now dedicates herself to the poetic essence of music, interpreting ancient texts such as the troubadour songs of the 11th–12th centuries in Occitan and French. Her work seeks the intrinsic link between poetic word and sound, where language becomes music, becomes song.
Her musical explorations are inspired by the modal traditions of the Mediterranean and Central Asia. In the moment of inspiration—between improvisation and composition, in deep listening—the voice sings within the silence that settles.
LUDOVICA PASCA
“There is something more important than our blossoming, our rebirth. That the news circulates among those wounded, which is all of us.”
So says the Portuguese poet José Tolentino de Mendonça, and so singing and writing, for Ludovica, are ways of spreading the news.
In her songs, her voice is an inner sounding board, restoring a vision of the world that is at once intimate and generous, fragile and strong, nostalgic and in constant motion. The lyrics tell of affections, rebirths, beloved forms of life—people, houses, trees. Music transforms everything into a language that endures while everything around us loses meaning.
