PAOLO TAGLIAMENTO
This is my story
Paolo Tagliamento is a highly talented violinist with an international training and the first and only Italian winner of the Premio Rodolfo Lipizer International Violin Competition in Gorizia since 1982.
He graduated at the age of 15 with the highest honours and special distinction from the Conservatory “G. Verdi” in Milan under the guidance of Maria Caterina Carlini. He continued his studies in Italy with Salvatore Accardo at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena and at the Accademia Walter Stauffer in Cremona.
He further perfected his skills with Ana Chumachenco, first at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid, supported by a scholarship generously offered by John Elkann – FIAT, and subsequently at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich, where he earned both a Master’s Degree in Violin and a Soloistic postgraduate Master’s Degree. He is currently pursuing his fifth academic qualification, a Chamber Music Master’s Degree at the Tartini Conservatoire in Trieste.
His musical activity spans Europe, Asia, Australia and South America, collaborating with orchestras such as I Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano, Bad Reichenhaller Philharmonie, Orchestre de Chambre de Toulouse, I Solisti di Mosca, The Art of Sound Orchestra of Melbourne, and the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional Simón Bolívar in Caracas. As a member of I Solisti di Radio Veneto Uno, he has made a significant contribution to the promotion of great music in his home region.
He has performed for numerous diplomatic institutions, including the European Parliament, the embassies in Brussels, Colombo and Caracas, the consulates in Sydney and Brisbane, and the Italian Cultural Institutes in Athens, Valletta, Dublin, Istanbul, Melbourne and Sydney, thereby significantly promoting Italian culture worldwide.
Together with guitarist Massimo Scattolin, he released their first live CD during an Australian tour. They have also performed extensively in Italy and Germany and produced further recordings, including their tour projects “Tribute to Morricone” and “Omaggio a Venezia.”
His debut in 2021 with Andrea Marcon and the Venice Baroque Orchestra marked his entry into baroque playing, to which he dedicates himself with passion. The following year, under Andrea Marcon’s artistic guidance, he recorded his debut album featuring the complete Sonatas by J. Brahms with pianist Mamikon Nakhapetov, as part of Fondazione Cariverona’s “Opera Prima” project.
In 2023 he was Artist in Residence with I Virtuosi Italiani and won Third Prize at the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition with the Trio Michelangeli.
In 2024 he was invited as soloist and teacher at El Sistema, performing with the Simón Bolívar National Symphony Orchestra in Caracas.
In 2025 he undertook a Mozart tour performing the Violin Concerto KV 207 with Andrea Marcon and the orchestra Frau Musika in the theatres of Ancona, Belluno, Vicenza, Legnago and Verona. His collaboration with Andrea Marcon continues with future projects. In the same year, he returns to Australia for recitals in Sydney and Brisbane.
Paolo was a permanent member of the renowned ensemble Residenz Solisten in Munich, performing an important series of solo and chamber concerts in the city’s most prestigious venues.
In recent years he has had the privilege of receiving the profound esteem and artistic guidance of the great Italian violinist Uto Ughi, from whom he has drawn inspiration and knowledge.
From his hometown of Conegliano he received the prestigious Premio Civilitas 2013 – Young Emerging Artists Section, with the following citation:
"Violinist from Conegliano of great talent and success, he represents a concrete example of how through willpower, determination, dedication and sacrifice, one can give tangible voice to dreams, convey emotions, achieve prestigious national and international goals, and present, for the benefit of the entire community, great pages of music."
He plays the exquisite Santo Serafino “Lachmann” (Venice, 1740), previously performed by the great violinist Franco Gulli and kindly entrusted by Fondazione Pro Canale in Milan. He is the official promoter of Dogal strings, a Venetian artisan brand handed down through generations.
His career is characterised by a constant and profound interpretative and stylistic research, making him a significant figure in the contemporary music scene in Italy and abroad.
