While Christina Pluhar established a highly successful career as a multi-faceted instrumentalist in early music and Baroque repertory, she has come to be identified in the 21st century as the founder and music director of the vocal/instrumental ensemble L'Arpeggiata. Not surprisingly, Pluhar leads this group in similar repertory, but with a focus on Italian fare and with the infusion of jazz and folk elements. She has appeared both as a soloist and with L'Arpeggiata on numerous recordings. Pluhar's 2018 release with L'Arpeggiata, Himmelsmusik, was nominated for a Grammy Award. Pluhar and L'Arpeggiata returned in 2023, backing countertenor Philippe Jaroussky on the album Passacalle de la Follie.
