MAURO GHILARDINI
Music as encounter
I have sung Monteverdi in stone churches and Roger Waters under red lights. I have written scores for theatre, composed progressive rock, co-founded a recording studio in the mountains. Today I teach singing and music. Every experience has revealed something about others — and about myself.
Many crafts, one instrument.
Live
News
No backing tracks. No click. Only live.
Every show in my repertoire is born the moment we play it. Backing tracks are a CD someone sings or plays over: karaoke for musicians, where everyone chases the same fixed take — the same yesterday, the same tomorrow.
I would rather follow the people. The groove that rises that night, the breath of the room, the glances, even the tiredness to move through: being inside the moment, together, and turning human imperfection into living music.
A living show. Different every night, unique every time.

The path
Singing began in 1998, winning the Festagiovani competition and studying early vocality: the madrigal of Monteverdi and Caccini, the sacred of Pergolesi and Mozart.
In parallel, progressive rock: singer and composer of Minstrel, three albums and a name in Italian prog between the Nineties and the 2000s.
From 2001, musical theatre with Teatro Minimo: lead and narrator roles, and original scores for theatre and cinema.
Today the work multiplies: teaching, composing for film and video, live as a guest with bands or in acoustic formations — on stage and online — and writing and film criticism.
One voice running through it all.
