Riccardo Doni & Estrovagante Ensemble
Riccardo Doni, graduated in organd and composition, has more than 3000 concerts to his credit. He has been the harpsichordist of Giovanni Antonini’s Il Giardino Armonico since 1993.
As a chamber musician he plays with Giuliano Carmignola and as a continuo player he works with Enrico Onofri and his ensemble called Imaginarium.
During his career he has performed with I Solisti di Pavia (Enrico Dindo), the Cameristi della Scala, Accademia Bizantina and with famous soloist like Cecilia Bartoli, Ottavio Dantone, Mario Brunello, Isabelle Faust, Ilya Gringolts and Evangelina Mascardi.
Riccardo Doni has long been the director of the Accademia dell’Annunciata with which, in addition to his intense concert activity in Italy and abroad, he has made several recordings: “Sonar in Ottava” with Giuliano Carmignola and Mario Brunello (Arcana 2020), Tartini’s “Concerti e Sonate per violoncello piccolo” with Mario Brunello, (Arcana 2020); “Bach Transcription: Six Concertos for Violoncello Piccolo” with Mario Brunello (Arcana 2023); the complete “Concerti per archi di Francesco Durante” (Arcana 2023).
In 2024 he founded the Ensemble Estrovagante, a new project consolidating a long-standing collaboration with violinists Carlo Lazzaroni and Angelo Calvo and cellist Marcello Scandelli, bringing to fruition a path begun with the Accademia dell’Annunciata, then composed of young students at the beginning of their concert training, now professionals with brilliant careers underway. It was a natural transition for them to merge into a new, independent identity with a distinct artistic vision: no longer an academy, but a group of specialized chamber musicians united by a core principle of continuous exchange and confrontation of ideas.
Estrovagante made its debut by opening the 2024 edition of the “Milano Arte Musica” festival alongside violinist Ilya Gringolts, with whom it will record a series of Vivaldi concertos in 2025 for the Naïve label’s “Vivaldi Edition” series.
In 2024 their recording project focusing on Neapolitan Baroque repertoire will be released on the Da Vinci Classics label, while in 2025 an album dedicated to the figure of Barbara Strozzi, with soprano Laura Catrani, will be released on the Arcana label.
