The Spectrum Sound

Trio Spectrum's artistic journey also develops through its collaboration with Bugari, a historic company from Castelfidardo dedicated to the craftsmanship and production of accordions.

From the dialogue with this important artisan reality comes a project that combines musical research, tradition and innovation: the recording of Lupin, the renowned piece by Franco Micalizzi, in the arrangement by Maestro Walter Di Girolamo.

The music video, filmed inside the Bugari headquarters and shared on digital platforms, tells the story of the encounter between the world of music and craftsmanship, connecting the meticulous construction of the instrument with its infinite expressive possibilities.

Through this experience, Trio Spectrum continues its mission of promoting the bayan, pursuing a musical vision in which tradition and new sonic perspectives coexist.

Trio Spectrum carries out an intense concert activity, collaborating with associations, musical institutions and cultural organisations in Italy and abroad.

The programmes presented guide audiences through different eras, styles and musical languages, with the aim of combining tradition, exploration and innovation.

Each concert is conceived as an engaging musical experience, highlighting the expressive richness of the ensemble and bringing audiences closer to original repertoires and unique sound worlds.
