[This text has been translated electronically.] Inspired by the music of the Mediterranean, Leonardo Garcia Alarcón founded the ensemble Cappella Mediterranea in 2005. In just a few years, the ensemble became known for rediscovering unpublished works such as »Il diluvio universale«, written in Sicily, and for new versions of well-known repertoire pieces such as Claudio Monteverdi's »L'Orfeo«. Meanwhile the repertoire goes far beyond the original idea: madrigals, polyphonic motets and operas make up the very special style of the ensemble.
