The singer-songwriter Assunta Mandaglio with Italian roots and guitar player Pieter Thys, decided to finally start working closely together as a duo, after exploring music in the last 15 years in different bands (Assunta Mano, Buscemi, Balaxy Orchestra, Troissoeur...) and creating 3 albums together. (Balaxy orchestra, Millenniums)

In the past 10 years they both have been performing on big festivals in Belgium and Netherlands. They have been touring with different projects in Taiwan, China, Turky, Czech Republic, Bulgaria…

Their formal main projects Assunta Mano and Balaxy Orchestra have always been picked up by national radio (Assunta Mano) and even the Worldmusic charts (Balaxy Orchestra).

Assunta & The Light Orchestra was created out of their eager to keep on working together as soulmates for life and out of a deep passion for music.

The combination of Assunta Mandaglio’s passionate voice and her beautiful songs together with the unique sound of Pieter Thys’s guitars creates a very unique atmosphere in the singer songwriters tradition.

Their performances are always a big adventure as they speak for themselves… always be aware of playing the right songs that fits the moment. Improvisation is always just around the corner. They always take the challenge to play their beautiful music as if it is their very first time.

Joni Mitchell, Scot Matthews, Paul simon, Eels, PJ Harvey, Sting, Jeff Buckley, Susan Vega, are some of the great artists who inspires the music of Assunta & Th Light Orchestra.

But life is the biggest inspiration for both, Assunta writes about big and small things that happen in life.

Their music opens a door to an inspiring world where the audience gets the chance to travel trough thoughts en emotions.
