About

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.

Mauro Ghilardini
Biography

The path

Singing began in 1998, winning the national 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 performances as a guest in numerous bands or in intimate acoustic formations — on stage and online — and finally writing and film criticism.

One voice running through it all.

Raro concedit, numquam negat, semper distinguit.

— Fr. Tomáš Týn, on Thomas Aquinas
