La Colombina

In 1990 four singers founded an ensemble. They were all well-known soloists regularly crossing each other’s paths in various productions, and were fervent madrigalists as well as very good friends. Their name, La Colombina, was chosen after a late fifteenth century music volume, now preserved at Seville’s Colombine Library. Cosmopolitan and very Latin in character, the ensemble consists of an Argentinean, an Italian, and two Catalans, specializing in Renaissance and early Baroque music, religious as well as profane, and singing mostly “a Capella”. La Colombina’s favourite repertory is Spanish, but this does not prevent excursions into Italy or France. The group’s basic principle is to put the talents of each singer at the service of expression and of these repertoires in particular.
