Clare Martin has written a beautiful review of the concert for Radio13, below an extract:
A highlight was Ciarla’s version of Astor Piazzolla's Libertango with the bow bouncing percussively on the violin strings, with complex cross-rhythms and biting tango edge. A fantastic fusion of violin and an absolute mastery of looping. Also beautiful was Ciarla’s own composition titled Albero Democrazia or ‘democracy of the trees’ with soft thumb knocks creating branches knocking together and a susurration of spoken and sung phrases.

Grazie to the Italian Embassy in New Zealand for sponsoring the event, to all our Dante Auckland members and friends who attended, and to Luca for his wonderful performance. Luca’s music tour will now continue ‘across the ditch’ (Australia).
