The Volterra Project Trio
Antigoni Goni, Luca Isolani and Maarten Vandenbemden
The Volterra Project Trio reimagines classical guitar trio music, drawing inspiration from European impressionism, Mediterranean folk melodies and cinematic scores.
Antigoni Goni, an internationally celebrated Greek guitarist, is admired for her exquisite sound and distinguished solo and chamber career. Italian-born Luca Isolani, a researcher and performer with a deep focus on folk influences, bridges the worlds of classical, jazz, and contemporary music. Maarten Vandenbemden, a Belgian guitarist, arranger and pedagogue, is lauded for his creative energy and commitment to education and outreach. As a trio, they merge their diverse expertise to breathe fresh life into the repertoire, treating the guitar as a miniature orchestra, exploring its unique sounds, dynamics, and colors.
In 2022, the trio released "Medio Siglo," an album dedicated to the renowned luthier José Luis Romanillos, recorded using his last four guitars. The album has been praised by Soundboard Magazine for “the deep use of colors and the dazzling arrangements”.
In June 2023, the Volterra Project Trio made its US debut at the 50th Guitar Foundation of America Convention in New York, after playing extensively in Europe.
Their new album, Parole in Musica, will be released in May 2025 and will be followed by an international tour, touching both Europe and US.
