Biography

The son of two pianists, Emmanuele Baldini was attracted to the violin when he was seven years old. Baldini started his studies with Bruno Polli at the Conservatorio di Musica Giuseppe Tartini, in Trieste. He then went to the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève, where he was taught by Corrado Romano, after which he further continued his studies with Ruggiero Ricci at the Salzburg's Mozarteum. Much later, he also studied conducting with Frank Shipway and Isaac Karabtchevsky. Emmanuele Baldini was the winner of several international competitions such as the Viennese "Forum Junger Künstler" and the "Premier Prix de Virtuosité" in Geneva. He also received the third prize at the Concorso Lipizer di Gorizia, in his homeland Italy.

He performed as a soloist throughout Italy as well as the main concert halls of Europe, including the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Linz Brucknersaal, Geneva's Victoria Hall, the Gasteig in Monaco, as well as venues in cities including Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Salzburg, Ljubljana, Brussels, Budapest, Luxemburg, Paris and Copenhagen. Baldini was also invited to perform as soloist in orchestral pieces and in chamber music in many concerts and recitals outside Europe; in Japan, Australia, the United States and above all in Brazil, where he has been living since 2005.[1] Baldini has interpreted the main concerti of the violin repertoire with orchestras such as the Wiener Kammerorchester, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, São Paulo State Symphonic Orchestra, Flanders Youth Philharmonic Orchestra and Orchestra da Camara di Mantova, the latter of which with conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Muti, Daniele Gatti, Franco Gulli and Franco Rossi. He was the concertmaster of Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Orchestra del Teatro Giuseppe Verdi di Trieste and Orquestra Sinfónica de Galicia as well as on the first desk of the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano.[2]
