Projects and Collaborations
Soloist
At the moment the concertistic activity as soloist is principally focused on the hurdy-gurdy, especially with spectacles in form of conference-concert.
Novallys Quartet
Quartet born in 2013 with the goal of combining styles and musical instruments typical of different Italian regions, as well as of merging the ancient with the modern.
Group components:
- Luca Turchet (hurdy-gurdy, mandolin, classical guitar, cornamuse)
- Peppo Grassi (mandolin, mandola, mandoloncello)
- Giuliano Gabriele (diatonic accordion, voice, zampogna)
- Eduardo Vessella (percussions)
Giuliano Gabriele & Jacaranda
In 2012 Luca started the collaboration with the songwriter Giuliano Gabriele and the band Jacaranda, performing in several concerts and participating to the recordings of the cd "Melodeonìa" (label World Tarantella). The cd is a path in the traditional repertoire of the Southern Italy, which starting from the rhythm of the tarantella arrives to the world experimentation. Alternating the ancient with the modern, the musical contamination gives rise to original compositions and arrangements, build on Southern Italian styles and Northern European harmonies.
