Alessandro Fagiuoli

Alessandro Fagiuoli graduated from the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory in Venice, followed by study with Enzo Porta of twentieth-century violin repertoire. He was awarded a scholarship from the Venice Biennale for the “performance of late Nono works”, leading him to specialise in contemporary music, and bringing collaborations with important new music ensembles and the creation of the Paul Klee Quartet, with which he is first violinist and soloist. Concerts with the quartet and with the pianist Alessia Toffanin as a duo have taken him throughout Italy and abroad, with increasing acclaim for his interpretations of new music and for those of the more traditional music he plays with Toffanin. With the Paul Klee Quartet Fagiuoli has participated in festivals and concert seasons throughout Europe and in the United States, with a number of world premières. He has also appeared in festivals abroad and in Italy as a duo with Alessia Toffanin. The quartet has enjoyed residences at the Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud in France and at the Evry University in Paris. Recordings of the quartet as well as of Fagiuoli as soloist and as a duo with Toffanin have appeared on the Stradivarius, Niccolò, Blue Serge and New World labels.
