www.myspaceeditor.itSTEFANO TRAVAGLINI (1976), poly-instrumentalist, has studied Oboe, Piano, Composition and Conducting.
He began his concert activity at the age of 16, by starting to play with symphonic orchestras. In 1994 he got his Diploma in Oboe at the Conservatoire of Campobasso. In 1995, he attended the summer course at the prestigious Chigiana Academy with H. J. Schellenberger (Berliner Philarmoniker); then, in 1996, he attended the course with A. Negroni in Lanciano. In 2005, he got his Diploma in Composition at the Conservatoire of Pesaro: he studied with A. Samorì; besides, he attended the specialization course with A. Solbiati and Arvo Part.
His compositions have been played during several contemporary Music Festivals and included in the repertoires of small chamber ensembles. He has performed concerts within a range of groups – from duo to orchestra – in various countries: Italy, Hungary, Canada, USA, Mexico, Russia and Spain, every time performing in the most important cities (Budapest, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Detroit, Tijuana, Ensenada, Barcelona, St. Petersburg...) and recording radio and TV broadcasts in Toronto.
In the summer of 2004, he got his Diploma in Conducting at the ‘Wiener Meisterkurse fur Musik’, held at the Conservatoire of Vienna, under the direction of the Spanish Maestro Salvador Mas Conde.
During the same year, he gave his personal contribution to the rediscovery of the Italian composer Riccardo Zandonai (1883-1944), by arranging the author’s ‘Soror Dolorosa’ for great symphonic orchestra – originally for voice and piano.
In the summer of 2007, he studied with Maestro Colin Metters (Royal Academy UK) and got his Diploma in Conducting at the Conservatoire of Pesaro (Ita).
He has studied piano from a very young age and he has continued specializing with various maestros, dedicating his particular interest to jazz and all forms of improvised music. Over the years, his passion for improvised music has led him to play with a wide range of musicians and to create an ensemble, SunSet Quintet, to perform his compositions. Moreover, in 2004, he was a teacher for Europe Jazz Odyssey Workshop, a project financed by the European Community; in the same year, he played at concerts in Mexico along with the Israel Varela Quartet.
