Acqua passata - new album & tour 2026
Nicola Cipriani & Brad Myrick release “Mare Nostrum” on Friday, January 16, 2026, the first single from their forthcoming album "Acqua Passata". Taking its name from the Latin phrase meaning “Our Sea,” Mare Nostrum reflects the Mediterranean as a shared space of history, movement, and cultural exchange. Drawing on Mediterranean musical colours and classical influences, the piece combines rhythmic clarity, harmonic depth, and focused melodic development.
Duo's Musical Style
The duo’s interplay is confident and refined, with virtuosity always serving expression rather than display. Structured yet fluid, Mare Nostrum captures the meeting point of form and motion—music shaped by tradition, carried forward by flow. Acqua Passata, their fourth studio album, is a concept album dedicated to water and its forms, born between Verona, Italy, and New Hampshire, USA.
Album and Tour Details
The full album Acqua Passata will be released on January 30, 2026. This marks the start of their new tour, kicking off in England in early February 2026, followed by the Italian debut on February 27, 2026, at Teatro della Fucina Culturale Machiavelli in Verona, featuring special guest the Italian composer and guitar virtuoso Peo Alfonsi.
