Canto Fiorito

Vilnius based early music ensemble. Canto Fiorito started its activity in December of 2012 when early music professionals from various countries gathered in Vilnius (Lithuania) to play the concert of Giovanni Battista Cocciola music, composed in this city in the seventeenth century. This musical experience inspired the formation of the team, passionate to continue making music together and building the grounds of historically informed performance in Lithuania. Consisting of 5 Lithuanian singers and instrumentalists from Brazil, Argentina, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom, Poland, Lithuania and other countries, the ensemble is dedicated to the research and performance of medieval, renaissance and baroque music, with a special attention to the early music heritage related to the history of Lithuania.
