LUIGI PICARDI, Guitarist and Music Historian
Born in Rome in 1970, he began studying guitar at the age of 15 and graduated with honors from the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome under the tutelage of Maestro Carlo Carfagna. He subsequently took part in numerous seminars and advanced courses in Italy and Spain, with internationally renowned teachers such as Roberto Masala, Armando Marrosu, José Tomás, Bruno Battisti D'Amario, David Tanenbaum, David Russell, Lamberto Cardellini and Carlos Bonell. He also attended courses in early and Baroque music taught by Rosario Cicero and Mario D'Agosto.
He has also won prizes in various national and international competitions.
He has performed as a soloist and in chamber ensembles (guitar duo; flute and guitar duo; violin and guitar duo with Paolo Perrone; Cluster Ensemble conducted by Marco Angius) for numerous Italian music associations.
He has also actively collaborated with the Istituto Bibliografico Musicale (Music Bibliographic Institute) directed by the renowned musicologist Giancarlo Rostirolla at the National Central Library of Rome.
Since 1999, he has been a member of the staff of Vatican Radio's Music Programs, where he oversees the nighttime schedule 'Con voi nella Notte' (With You in the Night) and hosts the Sunday program 'L'Arpeggio'. He also serves as Music Assistant in the Sala Assunta of the Vatican Radio, as well as for the various events held at the Holy See.
At the same time, he works as a sound engineer and musical assistant in collaboration with Rino D'Anna's Green Studio in Rome, with whom he recorded the CD 'The Four Seasons' by Antonio Vivaldi, featuring Grazia Raimondi on solo violin and the 'Musici Aurei' Ensemble conducted by Luigi Piovano. The CD was released by the French label Eloquentia, received rave reviews in the international press, and was given the highest rating by critic David Vernier in “Classics Today.”
In 2019, he founded the ConTemporary Duo with guitarist Felicia Toscano, performing in concert in Washington, D.C. in the United States and at international guitar festivals.
