How everything started

The story of Ensemble d'arco is not just one of music, but of a mirror held up to the soul of an artist. It is a journey that proves how a small spark, when tended with integrity, can light up the world.

The Seed of a Vision

"It began with a simple idea—the kind that only takes root when nourished by profound passion. We started as an intimate chamber ensemble, focused and refined. Yet, we always carried an 'accordion-like' flexibility, allowing us to expand into a chamber orchestra when the music demands. This versatility has led to numerous prestigious collaborations, most notably our long-standing partnership with the Pueri Cantores boy's choir from Luxembourg, as well as some of the finest choirs across Europe."

The Echo of Excellence

True quality is never quiet. Our commitment to excellence found its voice in our Haydn CD for Naxos, recorded alongside the brilliant pianist Sabine Vatin. What we hoped would be a beautiful tribute to the Concertini became something much larger: a worldwide success. To see our "little ensemble" capture the hearts of such a vast global audience was not just a milestone—it was a homecoming.

The Mirror of Integrity

At the core of Ensemble d'arco lies a fundamental belief: our work is our reflection. "Everything we do reflects our true engagement and excellence."

We do not simply play notes; we invest our spirit into every measure. Our journey confirms that when you build on a foundation of integrity and quality, the music doesn't just reach the ears—it reaches the world.

"Zum Schluss folgte Rheinbergers Suite für Violine und Orgel op. 149, eine sehr ausdrucksvolle und ausgeglichene Komposition, in der der Violinist Darko Milowich durch eine betont einfühlsame Bogenführung brillierte. Nach dem melodiösen Präludium, in dem der Violinist durch ein virtuoses Cantabile auffiel, folgte die Canzone mit eindringlicher und feierlicher Stimmung. Das abschließende Moto Perpetuo war eine Herausforderung an die Fingerfertigkeit des Violinisten Milowich, der diese mit atemberaubender Leichtigkeit und Präzision meisterte."

Dr. Dante Bernabei

„La sonata per violino e pianoforte di Francis Poulenc, i cinque pezzi dal balletto "La Cenerentola" nonché la sonata in re maggiore, Op. 94a di Prokof'ev sono state le perle incastonate nel suo violino fatte rivivere con una freschezza e con una liricità disarmante.“

Maria Primerano

"Celui-ci (Darko Milowich) nous a frappé en outre par une sonorité et une conduite d'archet differente d'un morceau à l'autre. Il a su adapter son jeu au caractère spécifique de chaque oeuvre, un peu comme s'il utilisait chaque fois un autre instrument."

René Molling

„Darko Milowich je vec dva puta dolazio (od kad je svoju novu domovinu nasao u Luksemburgu), ali, odmah da kazemo, nikad kao ovaj put tako mocno, ubedljivo, neodoljivo, pokoravajuce. Postao je vise nego svestan svoje svirke i svojih mogucnosti, on sada ono sto hoce- i moze a htenja su mu velika, ambiciozna, umetnicka...“

Branka Radovic

„Colpisce da subito la raffinezza della sua cavata, intessuta da una musicalità e da una spontaneità d'altri tempi.

Le preziosità dinamiche del suo archetto diventano sussurri poetici nell'elaborazione dei contrasti tonali.Il pathos c'è tutto. Il misticismo pure."

Eldrige Vitaliano

„Le capacità introspettive di Darko Milowich afondano nel costrutto contrapuntistico dipanando le difficoltà techniche quasi con candore, facendo trasparire tutta la tenzione dinamicha, le volature chromatiche e i luminosi chiaro-scuri delle linee melodiche.“

Massimo Fargnoli

„Soignée, vivante et d'une grande culture musicale, la prestation du quatuor "d'arco" a séduit par sa clarté. Leurs interprétations mozartiennes, empreintes d'un enthousiasme rare, ont véritablement conquis le publique.“
