Performer Biography
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.
