Teatru Manoel, in collaboration with RPL Malta and Calma Management, will be organising Laura Marzadori in Concert on Sunday, 23 June at 8.30pm at Teatru Manoel, Valletta.
The concert's performance will consist of Laura Marzadori, leader of the Teatro alla Scala Orchestra with Eugenio Silvestri on viola, and our local talents Francis Camilleri and Bettino Farrugia on piano. The programme will include Trio dei Birilli di Mozart, J. Brahms Trio op. 40 (viola al posto del corno) and Concert D. Shostakovich: 5 Pezzi.
Marzadori joined the Teatro alla Scala Orchestra as first violin in 2014, at just 25 years. Before taking up this position she played only as a soloist and as a chamber music violinist, never in an orchestra. However, the commission members with Daniel Barenhoim as its president, unanimously elected her as the concertmaster. In this role she has already worked with some of the greatest conductors in the world: Barenboim, Chailly, Gatti, Harding and Pappano.
She began studying the violin a few months before her fourth birthday with Fiorenza Rosi, a teacher of the Suzuki method. At age 10 she studied for one year with Professor Enzo Porta, great violinist and pedagogue, before entering the GB Martini Conservatory in Bologna from where she graduated magna cum laude in October 2005.
Laura also studied until the age of 17 with Marco Fornaciari - for many years violin soloist of the Claudio Scimone ensemble I Solisti Veneti.
In 2004 she won the Andrea Amati National Contest for Young Violinists. The chairman of that jury was the famous violinist Salvatore Accardo who took her on to prestigious international courses at the Stauffer Academy in Cremona and the Chigianao Academy in Siena where for two consecutive years she was awarded the Honour's Diploma granted to the best students.
The concert is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Local Councils, Ministry of Tourism, Continental Cars, Green MT, Mvintage and Waterfront Hotel.
