Sentieri Selvaggi was founded in 1997 by Carlo Boccadoro, Filippo Del Corno, and Angelo Miotto with the aim of bringing contemporary music closer to a wider audience. Over the years, the ensemble has collaborated with some of the most important composers on the international scene, such as David Lang, Louis Andriessen, James MacMillan, Philip Glass, Gavin Bryars, Michael Nyman, Julia Wolfe, and Fabio Vacchi, who have either written scores for the ensemble or entrusted them with the Italian premieres of their works. Alongside them, the group promotes and disseminates a new generation of Italian composers, including Francesco Antonioni, Silvia Colasanti, Giovanni Mancuso, and Mauro Montalbetti. Since 1998, Sentieri Selvaggi has been a regular guest of Italy’s most prestigious music seasons, major cultural events in the country (Festival della Letteratura in Mantua, RomaEuropaFestival, Festival della Scienza in Genoa, Festival MiTo), as well as important international festivals (Bang on a Can Marathon in New York, SKIF Festival in Saint Petersburg, Sacrum Profanum in Krakow).
