About this concert
The impact of Humanism and the ancient art of oratory on the work of Trecento composers is indisputable but has been little researched. La fonte musica brings together the most beautiful works of Antonio Zachara da Teramo for a convincing display of medieval eloquence.

About the performers
La Fonte Musica was founded by Michele Pasotti and specializes in the interpretation of late medieval music, with special focus on the Italian Trecento. A vital element in this is philological research, which involves returning to the roots of medieval polyphony, exploring the deeper meaning of the texts and the musical choices present in the compositions. The name of the ensemble alludes to the fountain, a topos in medieval poetry, a place of regeneration and life, and a symbol of pleasure.
