She has performed at numerous prestigious festivals as a soloist and continuo player with various ensembles and baroque orchestras. In 2000, she founded her own ensemble, L\u2019Arpeggiata, whose unconventional performances around the globe have thrilled audiences and critics alike. She has also worked with several renowned ensembles and artists, including La Fenice, Hesp\u00e8rion XXI, Il Giardino Armonico, Concerto Soave, Accordone, Elyma, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Ricercar Consort and Cantus C\u00f6lln.<\/p>\n
Christina Pluhar moves effortlessly between jazz and Baroque, southern European folk music and atmospheric Renaissance tunes, unencumbered by academic rigidity while at the same time retaining a solid scholarly foundation.<\/p>\n
She has won several major music awards with L\u2019Arpeggiata, including several ECHO Klassik awards, for example for the album \u00bbTeatro d\u2019Amore\u00ab featuring Nuria Rial and Philippe Jaroussky, which they presented at the 2010 Musikfest Bremen. \u00bbLos P\u00e1jaros Perdidos\u00ab and \u00bbMediterraneo\u00ab delighted the audience in Bremen in 2012 and 2013 respectively. In 2016, the Musikfest audience enjoyed her passionate interpretation of Monteverdi\u2019s \u00bbL\u2019Orfeo\u00ab with Magdalena Ko\u017een\u00e1 and Rolando Villaz\u00f3n, and in 2017 her Musikfest concert \u00bbHandel Goes Wild\u00ab centred on George Frideric Handel. The eponymous recording won the 2018 OPUS Klassik award. In 2021, Christina Pluhar and Rolando Villaz\u00f3n revisited the theme of Orpheus with \u00bbOrfeo son io\u00ab and, following its Musikfest premiere, explored it further through countless subsequent performances. The current programme, conceived, arranged and conducted by Pluhar on the theorbo, ranges from Monteverdi and his contemporaries via Christoph Willibald Gluck to the 20th century with Carlos Gardel and Luiz Bonf\u00e1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
