“Association Ensemble 900 is a well established activity around the regional, interregional and national culture.

In fact, it is often involved on the organization of major events, in favour of the cultural heritage of our region and the dissemination of it in a national field.

Ensemble900 for the first time in Abruzzo, held a luthery workshop taking the important international school "Antonio Stradivari" of Cremona in the region. Some years after led another event: two first absolute musical executions of the famous Roman composer Sylvano Bussotti with a live record at the Teatro Comunale in Atri.
Ensemble' 900 combines the live musical events with a musical research and protection: not only a concert but an interactive relationship with the public.

For over ten years, Ensemble900  is dedicated to the Organization of the International Festival of ancient music "Seicentonovecento" with vintage instruments of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, with important awards at a national level:
