Si esibisce live anche con musicisti come Daniele Tedeschi (Vasco Rossi) , Adriano Molinari (Claudio Baglioni , Zucchero), Vincenzo Pastano (Luca Carboni) e Giorgio Usai (New Trolls).
La potenza che sprigiona la musica barocca , spingono Luca all’idea di diffondere con i mezzi moderni le atmosfere come quelle bachine o vivaldiane , se non quelle di compositori successivi come i grandi compositori dell’ottocento fino ai più recenti Mahler e Schoenberg.
