Programme Note
‘His musicianship is so big, so irrepressible, that he transcends the instrument that he’s playing’
(BBC Record Review)
Sought after as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher, Samuele’s recent solo engagements include recitals at Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and Berlin Konzerthaus.
He has taken part in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Verbier, Cheltenham and Schlern Music Festivals collaborating with Pablo Barragan and Simply Quartet, and in 2022 made his debut with the Haydn Orchestra conducted by Kent Nagano.
A prize-winner at the 2019 Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) International Auditions, in 2021 Delphian released Samuele’s recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations at Queens Hall Edinburgh to critical acclaim. He regularly features on BBC Radio 3 and Rai RadioTre.
During 2024 he has appeared as a soloist and in chamber ensembles at Tauberphilarmonie, Lacmus Festival, Cantiere Internazionale di Montepulciano, Festival Orizzonti, Portsmouth Guildhall among the others. Next year he will debut with I Pomeriggi Musicali Orchestra during the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the orchestra.
Passionate about contemporary music, Samuele is a member of Opificio Sonoro in Italy, working with composers such as Sciarrino and Bedrossian, and has premiered solo works by Vittorio Montalti, Simone Cardini and Fabrizio de Rossi Re, among many others. In 2022, with Tabea Debus, he workshopped and premiered a new programme, Rotation, with choreographer and dancer for Music in the Round in Sheffield.
Samuele has performed widely across Europe appearing at Snape Maltings Concert Hall in Aldeburgh, Amici della Musica di Firenze, Cité de la Danse et la Musique (Strasbourg), Amici della Musica di Padova, among many others. As soloist he has appeared with the Orchestra Cherubini, State Hermitage Orchestra in St. Petersburg, I Virtuosi Italiani, and the Quartetto Fonè. Further afield he undertook a tour of Colombia.
Awards include 1st Prizes at the 2018 Arassate-Hiria (Spain) and 2013 Castelfidardo (Italy) Competitions. In 2017 he released his first solo CD LIMES, and in 2020 a duo CD for accordion and clarinet, BROKEN SHAKE.
