The ensemble La Caccia, founded in 1995, deepens the alta-capella setting. This is a combination of reed and brass instruments (shawm, pommer, trombone, dulcian), the standard instrumentation in the 15th century and 16th century. La Caccia also focuses on the repertoire of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance repertoire for alta, bassa and a cappella formations.
