Ugo Orlandi (born in Brescia, 1958) is a musicologist, a specialist in the history of music, a university professor and internationally renowned mandolinist virtuoso.[1][2] Among worldwide musicians, professional classical musicians are a small group; among them is an even smaller group of classical mandolinists.[3] Among members of this group, Ugo Orlandi is considered "distinguished."[3] Music historian Paul Sparks called him "a leading figure in the rehabilitation of the eighteenth-century mandolin repertoire, having recorded many concertos from this period."[1]

Orlandi is known to the general public for his collaboration with I Solisti Veneti, directed by Claudio Scimone, with whom he has performed around the world.[4] He is credited on more than 30 albums of mandolin music, many featuring composers from that era.[5]

Education and academic functions

[edit]

Ugo Orlandi began by studying the mandolin and trumpet, with Giovanni Ligasacchi and Rosa Messora at Centro di Bresciano Giovanile Educazione Music (Music Education Centre of Youth Brescia). From 1975, he studied at the Conservatorio C.Pollini di Padova (Music Conservatory of Padova) directed by mandolinist Giuseppe Anedda, and he also obtained a degree in trumpet.

From 1980 to 2007, he taught mandolin at Conservatorio "C.Pollini 'di Padova and since 2007, provides courses at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Milano (Giuseppe Verdi Music Conservatory of Milan).[6]

He has toured the world, going to music festivals, including "Salzburg, Montreux, Edinburgh, 'Mostly Mozart' in New York, and 'The Prestige de la Musique' in Paris."[6]

His former students include internationally known mandolinists Avi Avital and Carlo Aonzo.[7][8]
