Sylvia Catasta Female Classical-rock quartet (flute, violin, viola, cello)

After decades of individual experience on every kind of stage, tackling every type of repertoire and alongside the greatest artists of the contemporary pop/rock scene, the four artists have combined their creativity thus creating a project that could link worlds and languages distant from each other that has always united them.
The epicity and power of rock sonorities are transformed without losing their character, enhancing their aspects thanks to the essentiality of the most timeless chamber ensemble:
the quartet [D4RKY]
The coherence of the arrangements, the executive care and the style of the quartet have also been noticed by Alessio Bertallot and Saturnino who often want them next to them instead of the classic band for concerts and special events.

REPERTORIES:

• CLASSIC ROCKS
  Our arrangements of the best-known songs in the rock repertoire, from the Rolling Stones to Van Halen, from Led Zeppelin to Queen.
• CLASSICAL PUNK
  Clash, Sex Pistols, Joy Division.. but also the derivations such as New Wave and Grunge.
• PEARLS
  An unprecedented program that passes through the italian rock history, from the 70s of PFM, the 80s of Vasco Rossi, to the 90s of Subsonica, up to nowadays music.
