Sinfonia di vetro…
… is a professional glass music ensemble, founded in 1996 by the musician and instrument maker Sascha Reckert, with the goal of bringing various glass instruments to the fore in news ways. Sascha Reckert is the only glass instrument maker of his kind in the world; the ensemble complements his work by taking up his various instruments in different combinations.
The repertoire of the ensemble ranges from Renaissance to the present, with a particular emphasis on original pieces written for glass instruments in the 18th and 19th centuries and debut performances from that time period. In addition to playing for leading international opera houses, the ensemble has worked with dancers, performers (including the percussion group STOMP) and composers.
