Concert leaflet
Fabio Antonio Falcone is a passionate performer specialised in Renaissance and early Baroque repertoire. He is especially interested in sixteenth-century Italian keyboard music, as well as vocal and instrumental repertoire of the Baroque period. He performs as a soloist and continuo player at international venues and festivals with several ensembles among which Ensemble Elyma, Stile Galante, Genève Baroque, Ensemble Lucidarium and Ensemble Odissee with which he tours Europe and records CDs for different labels. His recordings are highly appreciated by international critics and broadcasted by the most important radio broadcast stations (BBC, Radio RAI, Radio France, BR-Klassik, WDR3, RTVE, Radio Classica, CKRL 89,1). Besides his activity as a concert performer, he devotes himself to research in music didactics, to the reconstruction of teaching practices from the analysis of historical sources. He is currently a member of the research group in didactics of the arts (DAM) at the University of Geneva. He studied in the Netherlands with Bob van Asperen, as well as in Italy with Maria Luisa Baldassari and Jesper Bøje Christensen, and in Switzerland with Francis Biggi and Kenneth Weiss.

Artist’s message to visitors
I am very glad to invite you all to this beautiful journey through the Italian Renaissance courts. This program will bring you all to the refined courts of Isabelle d’Este and Lucrezia Borgia. You will find here what may be considered such as a ‘first specimen’ of music publication: in this programme I will present pieces from the possibly most ancient example of printed keyboard music sylloge: the Frottole Intabulate da Sonare Organi, libro primo by Andrea Antico da Montona (1517) and the Recerchari, motetti, canzoni, libro primo by Marco Antonio Cavazzoni (1523). I will play two beautiful instruments copies after the most ancient, plucked keyboard instruments survived until our days: a clavicytherium, an up-right harpsichord that remind of the sound of the harp and an ottavino, a little virginal conceived for pedagogical use or for travelling. I am looking forward to playing this amazing Renaissance repertoire in this beautiful venue at the Seviqc Brežice Festival!
My artistic mission
My activity as musician follows two paths that of course cannot be separated: as a concertist I particularly work on 16th century repertoire. Not only solo repertoire but also ensemble (vocal and instrumental) repertoire, which I can explore with L’Amorosa Caccia, ensemble that I found in 2015. Beside of my concert activity I dedicate an important part of my work to research, at the University of Geneva, namely on the reconstruction of teaching practices as we can deduce them from the analysis of historical sources.
