Co-host: Carlo Marchione
Carlo Marchione, winner of seven major prizes at international competitions, has been part of the leading group of classical guitarists of the last 30 years. Carlo has performed as a solo guitarist, with orchestras and chamber music ensembles. Nowadays he is a professor and regularly leads master classes at various European Conservatoires as well as being a regular guest at Festivals throughout Europe. For his outstanding contribution to the development of the guitar, in 2017 he has been awarded with one of the most prestigious international prizes for the didactic, the Golden Guitar.
Besides that, he has inspired composers such as A. Carlevaro, C. Domeniconi, S.Iannarelli, K.Vassiliev, A. Ourkouzounov, G.Drozd and John Duarte to write pieces for him. Always looking for new ideas for his repertoire, he discovered almost forgotten compositions which come out like jewels through his genial transcriptions. Highly praised by the press of his editing Violin Fantasies 12 by Georg Philipp Telemann, which is released as a CD and music book.
