Founded in 2003 in Madrid, El Arte Mvsico is an ensemble specialised in the historical performance of a repertoire of pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries for string instruments. Violinists Ángel Sampedro and Teresa Casanova, and harpsichordist Diego Fernández form the core of the ensemble, and they call upon specialised performers for each of their programmes.

The ensemble has a keen interest in the recovery of currently lesser known Spanish and European musical heritage and creates programmes based on their own research projects, to which they devote much of their time. The repertoire has been selected to include pieces of musical and aesthetic quality as well as historical value. 

El Arte Mvsico’s philosophy is to bring contemporary audiences closer to music by performing it in the most authentic way possible so that it closely resembles the piece as created by its composer. All the performers within the ensemble are specialised in ancient instrumental techniques (the ‘chin-off’ technique in the case of violinists), playing original instruments and using bows from each period. They also conduct a thorough historical and aesthetic study prior to each programme to ensure they are able to reproduce the language that is most appropriate to the musical context. Ever since their inception, critics have praised the ensemble for the elegance and versatility of their performances.
