Biografie
Born in Treviso, where the Vivaldi renaissance started 50 years ago, Giuliano Carmignola began his violin studies with his father. His first teacher at the Venice Conservatory, Luigi Ferro, was a soloist with the Scuola Veneziana Orchestra (created in 1947 by Angelo Ephrikian to perform Vivaldi’s music) and later played with the Virtuosi di Roma, with whom Carmignola was in turn to appear as a soloist from 1970 to 1978, while succeeding Ferro as a teacher in Venice. Carmignola’s career was launched at the beginning of the 1970s with his successes in national and international competitions. Having attended master classes with Nathan Milstein, Franco Gulli and Henryk Szeryng, he went on to perform the major violin works of the 19th and 20th centuries under conductors of the stature of Claudio Abbado, Eliahu Inbal, Peter Maag and Giuseppe Sinopoli, including giving the Italian premiere of Henri Dutilleux’s Violin Concerto.
As a teacher, Carmignola has been on the staff of the Musikhochschule in Lucerne and the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena. His distinctions include the title of Accademico of the Reale Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Giuliano Carmignola plays the “Baillot” Stradivari (1732), presented to him by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna for his artistic achievements and his commitment to that city’s Orchestra Mozart.
