Adagio Mode Musical Collective
   After many years of musical studies, we have come upon a plan that aims its viability in face of collaborative challenges, brings authenticity and immediacy, and offers to audience a sincere appreciation and understanding of classical music.

Our repertoire covers more than five centuries of musical awareness, aspiring to combine the virtuosity and precision of a classical chamber music ensemble with the power and passion of solo performances, in quest for diffusion and thoughtfulness rather than a sophisticated academic excellence.

   Functioning as a collective group and measuring the impact of digital and social media, we pursue to revitalize the classical music agency with a new exploratory perspective. Our web site accepts daily visits from all over the world, developed with artistic detail and quality, publishing apart from our releases, a unique collection of free-for-sharing distinguished works.   Adagio Mode loves to incorporate into its musical interpretation the diversity, attention to communication in all of its subtlety, and exultation of contrasts between refined and popular, contemporary and classic, gentle and sarcastic, that characterize our culture today.
