Reza e i Ragazzi is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2012 in Italy. The group is known for its unique blend of classical music and contemporary pop, which has earned them a loyal following around the world. The ensemble was founded by Reza Najfar, a talented violinist who had previously performed with several other classical music groups. Najfar was inspired to start his own ensemble after realizing that there was a gap in the market for a group that could combine classical music with modern pop. Najfar recruited several other talented musicians to join his ensemble, including pianist Marco Di Paolo, cellist Luca Pincini, and percussionist Davide Di Gregorio. Together, the group began to experiment with different musical styles and arrangements, eventually settling on a unique sound that blended classical music with elements of pop, rock, and jazz. One of the highlights of Reza e i Ragazzi's early career was their performance at the 2013 Umbria Jazz Festival. The group's energetic and innovative performance earned them critical acclaim and helped to establish them as one of the most exciting new ensembles in the classical music world. Since then, Reza e i Ragazzi has gone on to perform at some of the world's most prestigious music festivals and venues, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and the Royal Albert Hall in London. The group has also released several critically acclaimed albums, including their debut album "Reza e i Ragazzi" and their follow-up album "Pop Meets Classic." In addition to their live performances and recordings, Reza e i Ragazzi has also won several awards and accolades for their contributions to the classical music world. In 2015, the group was awarded the prestigious Premio Abbiati award for their innovative approach to classical music. The award is considered one of the highest honors in the Italian classical music world and is given annually to the most outstanding performers and ensembles. Despite their success, Reza e i Ragazzi remains committed to pushing the boundaries of classical music and exploring new musical styles and arrangements. The group's unique blend of classical music and contemporary pop has earned them a loyal following around the world and has helped to establish them as one of the most exciting and innovative ensembles in the classical music world today.
