Ensemble Nuovi Orizzonti (ENO) is a group of young italian musicians that was founded in 2021 by Daniele Bonacina and Pietro Micheletti.
ENO members, mostly born and raised in Bergamo (Italy), study and work in different parts of Europe within high-prestige artistic realities (Paris, Basel, Salzburg, London, Turin, Milan, Leipzig...).
They’re bound by a strong friendship and they meet periodically to realise their musical ideas in a free and independent way.
RECENT PROJECTS
CAPRICCIO ITALIANO
Music by Domenico Scarlatti
Orchestrations by Daniele Bonacina, Paolo Brignoli, Pietro Micheletti and Mattia Sonzogni
Premiere: 23/08/2024, Eglise d'Ambert, Puy-de-Dôme (FR)
ENO pays homage to Domenico Scarlatti by selecting twenty-one sonatas from his catalogue and orchestrating them especially for the ensemble musicians. Capriccio Italiano is a unique work of its kind, that manages to bring past and present into dialogue, giving Scarlatti's music a new perspective, rich in contrast and depth.
MUTATIONS
Music by Gesualdo, Monteverdi and Schoenberg
Trascriptions by Pietro Micheletti
Premiere: 20/08/2024, Église de Champdieu, Verrières-en-Forez (FR)
A journey through works by Monteverdi, Gesualdo and Schoenberg: seemingly distant composers who, placed side by side shine with a new light dark and gloomy.
L'ARTE DELL'INVENZIONE

DACHBODENTANZ
E valga come perduto per noi il giorno in cui non danzeremo almeno una volta
[And count as lost to us the day we don't dance at least once]

Dramaturgy by Daniele Bonacina and Pietro Micheletti
Premiere: 1 September 2024, Auditorium Modernissimo di Nembro, Bergamo (IT)
DACHBODENTANZ is a dramaturgy of rhythms. Bodies, voices and sounds - each according to their own mode of expression - collide and meet, creating a rich counterpoint in which the only regulating principle is rhythm. DACHBODENTANZ evokes the dimension of the sacred in its declination at once tragic and popular. DACHBODENTANZ is a grand farewell to summer.
