Biography
Andrea Vitello is an Italian conductor, mainly known for interpreting contemporary repertoire and 20th-century Italian music. [1] He studied Choral Composition and Conducting at Conservatorio Giovanni Battista Martini in Bologna, with a thesis on and a modern edition of Camillo Cortellini's Missa I Toni 8 Vocum (1609). This was later published by Gardane [2] and recorded by the Chamber Choir of Bologna [3]. He also studied Orchestra Conducting at the Accademia Musicale Pescarese under the guidance of Donato Renzetti.
Andrea Vitello has conducted orchestras such as the MÁV Symphony Orchestra, The Soloists of Russia, the Thessaloniki Symphony Orchestra [4], the Korea Soloists Orchestra, the Argento Ensemble [5], the Orchestra Sinfonica di Sanremo, the Koszalin Philharmonic Orchestra[6], the Khabarovsk "Far East" Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Ministry of Defence of Russia, and the Lomza Philharmonic Orchestra [7], I Solisti della Scala, and the Orchestra di Toscana Classica. He has performed in venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York [8], Seul Art Center in Seoul, Perm Philharmonic Hall in Perm, and Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari[9], Sala Verdi in Milan [10], the Goldoni Theatre in Florence, and Megaron in Thessaloniki.
He gained international recognition through his recordings, particularly his Warner Classics CD with I Solisti della Scala featuring the first recordings of Igor Stravinsky's "Octet for wind instruments" by the musicians of La Scala Opera House and the first recordings of Peter Eötvös's "Octet" and Arnold Schönberg's "Pierrot Lunaire", featuring the soprano Anna Clementi.
Andrea Vitello has conducted premieres by composers such as Peter Eötvös, Tristan Murail, Oliver Schneller, Andrea Portera, Alessio Elia, Albertas Navickas, and Rita Ueda. He promotes young composers and has rediscovered and conducted works by lesser-known Italian composers, including Guido Alberto Fano, Silvio Omizzolo, Mario Pilati, and Gian Francesco Malipiero.
He has conducted soloists such as Roberto Prosseda, Andrea Bacchetti, Francesca Leonardi, Anna Clementi, Filippo Mineccia, Valentina Varriale, Julia Nikolaieva, Felix Del Tredici, Nolan Tsang, and David Taylor.
He teaches Musical Iconography at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole [11] and is the founder and Artistic Director of the Antal Doráti International Conducting Competition in Budapest and the Florence Conducting Masterclass in Florence [12][13]
