THE BIOGRAPHY OF MICHELE MARIANI
This young Italian saxophonist, trained at the Pescara Conservatory, stands out for a brilliant career crowned with international awards.
He leads an active career as a soloist and within the Tetra Saxophone Quartet, with which he performs in the greatest European venues.
His playing, rich and expressive, reveals a strong artistic commitment in the service of contemporary creation.
Born on August 5, 1999, he began his musical training on the saxophone at the secondary school “Salvo D’Acquisto” with professor Antonio Parente, then continued his studies at the Musical High School “Raffaele Mattioli” of Vasto under the guidance of Lorenzo Martelli.
There, he deepened his knowledge of classical music and became the solo saxophonist of the school’s orchestra.
In 2016, he was admitted to the “Luisa D’Annunzio” Conservatory of Pescara, in the class of professor Gaetano Di Bacco, where he successively obtained his first-level academic degree in 2020 (110/110 with honors), then a master’s degree in saxophone in 2022, once again with the highest distinction.
In 2024, he completed a specialization in chamber music, always with the highest honors.
He enriched his training by attending numerous masterclasses with internationally renowned musicians: Claude Delangle, Cécile Dubois, David Brutti, Hans De Jong, Mario Marzi, Gabriele Semplicino, Davide Lucente, Simone Genuini. His artistic career is marked by prestigious awards in national and international competitions: First Absolute Prize at the Premio Nazionale delle Arti 2022, Grand Prize Virtuoso in Amsterdam, First Absolute Prize at the Francesco Paolo Tosti Competition, Città di Tarquinia and Antonio Legrottaglie.
He performs as principal saxophone in several youth orchestral ensembles, winning prizes in competitions in Split (Croatia) and Busseto.
He is also a member and artistic director of the Tetra Saxophone Quartet, with which he gives numerous concerts in Italy and receives excellent reviews in venues such as the Auditorium G. Gaber (Milan), the Teatro di Marcello (Rome), the Teatro Marrucino (Chieti), and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. With this quartet, he notably won the 1st Absolute Prize with scholarship at the Bruno Mezzena Competition and the Special Carlo Galante Prize for the best interpretation of a contemporary work.
The quartet also stood out at the Coop Music Awards in Cremona, becoming the only Italian ensemble awarded.
An engaged and recognized artist, he collaborates with many figures of the Italian and international music scene. He performs in duo, quartet, quintet, as a soloist with orchestra, or in saxophone and electronics, enriching a repertoire of great artistic value, carried by a strong stage presence.
