La Vaghezza is a young early music ensemble that specialises in the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The group has won many prizes and is now in its third year in the EEEmerging project, a Europe-wide scheme created in 2014 with the support of the EU’s Creative Europe programme. The aim is to support young early music ensembles  and assist them in the first steps of their professional careers. The Torroella Festival participates in this project, and during their stay here La Vaghezza will give a concert of  works by Italian composers of the early baroque – music from the innovative Venetian School.
