2010 Guest Soloist


Federico Guglielmo


Born in Padua in 1968, Federico Guglielmo began his violin studies with his father Giovanni and graduated at the Conservatorio B. Marcello in Venice. He then took part in master classes with Salvatore Accardo, Gianluigi Gelmetti, Vladimir Spivakov, Isaac Stern, the Beaux Arts Trio, the Trieste Trio, the Amadeus Quartet, the Quartetto Italiano and the La Salle Quartet.

Encouraged by Christopher Hogwood, he soon dedicated himself to the practice on period and classical instruments. He won several prizes in international competitions in Europe (Paris, London) and Northern America (Canada). He won the first prize at the International Vittorio Gui Competition in Florence (1991). He is a regular guest of the major concert halls and festivals in Italy and abroad, such as Grosse Musikverein in Vienna, Wigmore Hall in London, Società del Quartetto di Milano, Accademia Santa Cecilia in Rome, Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, Herkuleesaal in Münich, Isaac Stern Auditorium at the Carnegie Hall in New York, Suntory Hall, Opera City and Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo, Izumi and Symphony Hall in Osaka, and Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. He regularly conducts and leads (also as a soloist) orchestras such as The Academy of Ancient Music in London, The Händel & Haydn Society in Boston, the Tokyo Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova and the Philarmonic Orchestra of Gran Canaria. In 1994 he founded L’Arte dell’Arco, a group specialising in Venetian Music from XVIIIth and XIXth centuries.

He has recorded over one hundred CDs for Decca, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, BMG Classics, Chandos, ASV, CPO, Stradivarius, Pavane, Denon, Nippon, Columbia, Altus, Velut Luna, Musical immagine, Tactus and Dynamic. These recordings have received many international acknowledgements such as the International Record Prize A. Vivaldi in Venice, twice. A full professor since 1993 of the Course of String Chamber Music at the Conservatoire L. Cherubini in Florence, he also holds several violin and baroque violin master classes each year.
