Andrea Cicalese

Violino

A rapidly rising presence in the European and American music world, violinist Andrea Cicalese, born in Naples in 2005, possesses, despite his young age, a "musical maturity that most artists struggle to achieve even after decades" (SZ) and a "breathtakingly fluid technical mastery" (AZ).

Andrea has performed to great acclaim from audiences and critics in some of the most prestigious concert halls in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Lebanon, and the United States (including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Tonhalle Zurich, the Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo, the RAI Auditorium in Turin, the Gasteig, the Herkulessaal, the Isarphilharmonie, and the Prinzregententheater in Munich).

As a soloist, he has worked with some of the world's most prestigious conductors, including Hannu Lintu, JoAnn Falletta, George Pelhivanian, Jaume Santonja, and Joseph Bastian, and has collaborated with leading orchestras such as the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Munich Symphoniker, the Baden-Baden Symphoniker, and the Arturo Toscanini Philharmonic.

A passionate and dynamic chamber musician, Andrea Cicalese has collaborated with pianists such as Beatrice Rana, Alexander Malofeev, Yekwon Sunwoo, Eric Lu, Filippo Gorini, and Julien Quentin, and with cellist Jan Vogler, harpist Xavier de Maistre, and accordionists Martynas and Antonio Del Castillo.

In a very short space of time, the young violinist has become a regular at prestigious music festivals such as the Rheingau Music Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Dvroak International Music Festival in Prague, the Al Bustan Festival in Beirut, the Ravello Festival, and the Lerici Music Festival. Chamber music engagements for the 2024/25 season include "I Concerti del Quirinale" in Rome, the "Serie Jeune" of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, the "Aspect Concert Series" in New York, and the seasons of the Konzertdirektion Hörtnagel and München Musik in Munich.

Andrea Cicalese studied with Josef Rissin at the University of Music in Karlsruhe. He plays a Guarneri "Del Gesù" (Cremona, 1731), the loan of which was made possible thanks to Music Masterpieces SA - Lugano (CH) as part of the cultural and philanthropic initiative “Adopt a musician".

Born in Rome in 2001, he began studying the violin at the age of seven with Prof. Andrea Celon. At the age of 10, he continued his violin studies with Prof. Xhiliola Kraja. In 2013, he brilliantly passed the entrance exams for the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, studying first with Silvio Moscatelli and later with Gabriele Baffero. In 2018, he decided to continue his studies with Prof. Maurizio Sciarretta. Over the years, he has participated in numerous masterclasses with Prof. Francesco Manara, Prof. Marco Fornaciari, Prof. Francesco De Angelis, Prof. Maria Caterina Carlini, Prof. Maurizio Sciarretta, Prof. Boris Belkin, and Prof. Zakhar Bron. Since 2017, he has won several national and international competitions: First Prize at the "Città di Giussano" National Instrumental Competition (winner of his category, section, and a special prize), later performing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto at the winners' concert in the Aligi Sassu municipal hall; the European Music Competition "Città di Moncalieri," where he performed a solo violin program featuring music by Bach at the winners' concert held at Moncalieri Castle; and the "Città di Treviso" International Competition (absolute first prize). He has received several scholarships, including the Best Student award at M° Marco Fornaciari's 2018 annual violin masterclass, which gave him the opportunity to perform a recital of music by Tchaikovsky and Beethoven at Palazzo Blu in Pisa in 2019. Furthermore, in 2021, he won a competition organized by the Associazione Musica Solidale Onlus, granting him the use of an 1814 Joseph Aloysius Marconcini violin for one year. He has performed concerts in Italy and abroad: in 2020, he performed Mozart's Concerto No. 5 at the Sala Mariele in Imola with the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna under Maestro Marco Boni; since 2018, he has given several concerts in the Czech Republic as a soloist with orchestra, performing works by Mendelssohn, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Ravel.

Carlotta Libonati

The concert format—as simple as it was moving—consisted of placing a spectator and a musician face-to-face, performing for fifteen minutes while gazing into each other's eyes, two meters apart. She has performed in numerous chamber music seasons, including the Rome Chamber Music Festival, the Accademia dei Cameristi di Bari, the IUC, I Tramonti di Tinia, and Villa Pennisi in Musica, collaborating with Robert McDuffie, David Romano, Alessio Pianelli, Massimo Spada, Salvatore Quaranta, Daniel Palmizio, Maurizio Baglini, Silvia Chiesa, Luigi Piovano, and Bruno Weinmeister.

She is a founding member of the Klem Quartet, with whom she attended the Quartetto Prometeo quartet course at the Avos Project Music School.

She has worked as principal viola with the Roma Tre Orchestra, the Benevento Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orchestra of Padua and the Veneto, and as a solo viola with the Orchestra of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Orchestra, the Perugia Chamber Orchestra, and I Solisti Aquilani.
