Azione_Improvvisa is an ensemble that connects different musical approaches and experiences, a synergic contribution between different ages instruments, aimed to reach new and experimental identity. From an idea of the italian composer Raul Masu, the ensemble is composed by musicians operating in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Belgium.
In addition to music concerts, the ensemble is often involved in educational activities and workshops, with the aim to focus on different aspects of the “comporaneity”.
