Auser Musici
The ancient river of Pisa, Auser, and therefore Tuscany, are ideally the starting point of the route undertaken by Auser Musici, who since 1997 enthusiastically explores the musical mosaic that was the Europe of the Sixteenth and the Seventeenth centuries.
Under the conduction of Carlo Ipata, AM has created a long series of precious unpublished Opera’s works including Antonio Cesti’s The Disgrazie d’Amore or Francesco Gasparini’s Il Bajazet.
With variables staff, from chamber music to orchestra, and always under the conduction of Carlo Ipata, AM has restored the “Italian” role of the traversiere with the recordings of the sonata op. II by F. Barsanti, the concerts by Pietro Nardini, the quintetti op. 19 by Luigi Boccherini and above all with two volumes of Neapolitan Concerts by authors such as Jommelli, De Majo and Perez (Gramophone editor’s choice).
In 2017 AM celebrated its 20 years with the production of the Catone by Haendel, and with two great productions: Didone Abandonata by Leonardo Vinci (with the Opera di Firenze – Maggio Musicale Fiorentino) and Il Girello by Jacopo Melani, during Pistoia Capital of Culture and with the extraordinary staging of the Fratelli Colla’s.puppets.
Distinguishing itself thanks to the the programs which are always performed with interpretive accuracy, AM has repeatedly played at the major international festivals such as St. Michel en Thierache, Froville, Haendel Festspiele Halle, Berliner Musikinstrumenten Museum, Berliner Tage für Alte Musik, Midis Minimes in Bruxelles, Zagreb Baroque Festival, Felicia Blumental in Tel Aviv, International Early Music Festival in San Petersburg, Stockolm Early Music Festival, Tropical Baroque Music Festival in Miami.

Scarlatti and Cappella della Pietà dei Turchini in Naples, Amici della Musica in Florence, Sagra Musicale Umbra, Fondazione Palazzetto Bru-Zane in Venice, Associazione Antonio il Verso in Palermo, Opera Barga, Festival Grandezze e Meraviglie in Modena, to name just a few.
AM recordings and concerts are broadcast by most important European radio stations such as Radio France, BBC, Radio Classica, WDR Radio and by Italian radio stations such as Radio 3, Radio Vaticana, Radio Classica.
AM has recorded for the English label Hyperion and is currently recording exclusive for the Spanish label Glossa, obtaining unanimous recognitions from the international press (Concerto Magazine, Fanfare, Repertoire, Goldberg, International Recording Review, The Guardian, Le Monde de la Musique).
Auser Musici benefits from the support of the Fondazione Pisa and is in residence at the Teatro di Pisa.
Carlo Ipata
Ipata’s musical career has been characterized since the beginning by a passion for early music as an inexhaustible source of knowledge of the history and the aesthetics that today are still distinguishing our culture.
With the Auser Musici components, who have been chosen among the best Italian and European musicians, he explored the enormous unpublished theatrical and instrumental repertoire of the Renaissance and Baroque period, basing his choices on historically informed principles.
With Auser Musici he directed the first modern performances of Operas such as Le disgrazie d’Amore bu Antonio Cesti, Il Bajazet by Francesco Gasparini, Catone by Georg Friedrick Haendel, Il Girello by Antonio Melani.
He has also directed the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Didone abbandonata by Leonardo Vinci and the Orchestra Arché in Il convitato di pietra by Giacomo Tritto.
As a soloist he has received the Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice for the first volume of Neapolitan Flute Concertos (Hyperion).
