Ludovica Burtone is an Italian violinist, composer, and arranger with an incomparable wealth of musical experiences and a sound that transcends categorization. Her vast compositional oeuvre extends from classical quartets to Brazilian music and contemporary jazz. Burtone has performed in some of Europe’s top orchestras and alongside icons such as Jon Batiste and Dream Theater and in the world scene with musicians such as Arijit Singh and Camila Meza. Now, she is fusing her passion for the string quartet with her unique compositional voice on her debut album Sparks. Due out on March 3, 2023 via Outside in Music, Sparks is an autobiographical story of Burtone’s journey to the United States from Italy, documenting a prolific passage from playing classical music to jazz, world music and beyond. After a postgrado in Barcelona, and her masters in violin performance, Burtone received a scholarship to pursue jazz and creative music at the Banff Centre, and then moved to the United States, earning a diploma in jazz composition at Berklee College of Music in two years, followed by moving to NYC where she still lives. The spark that Burtone fanned into flame has since directed her to some of the most lauded venues in America including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Boston Opera House, Radio City Music Hall, the Jazz Standard, among others.
