About Tiziano:
Tiziano excels as a virtuoso of the tenor trombone, whose career spans from classical music to film and video game scores. He studied primarily in Italy and Germany, under the guidance of respected mentors such as Gianluca Scipioni, Matthias Gromer, Ulrich Flad, and Martin Schippers. Active also in chamber music, he has collaborated with various ensembles across Europe.
His solo career has led him to perform with prestigious orchestras such as the Philharmonie Südwestfalen and with renowned conductors. He was also an Associate Member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.
His orchestral experience has brought him to work with world-renowned conductors such as Johan De Meij, Markus Stenz, and Duncan Ward, and to perform with distinguished orchestras like the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale dei Conservatori Italiani, the Miami Music Festival Orchestra, the Moritzburg Festival Orchestra as well as several other international orchestras.
Tiziano has played in numerous high-profile recordings. Among these, the world premiere of the Cello Concerto by Enrique Casals with SONY Classical stands out, as well as the album Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto, Baccanale & Symphony No.1 with Alpha Classics. His studio career also includes his contribution to the soundtrack of the popular video game Joe Dever's Lone Wolf, which has passed the 2.5 million downloads.
In addition to these recordings, Tiziano has played with internationally renowned artists such as Hans Zimmer on the European tour "Hans Zimmer Live" and alongside musicians like Alligatoah and Moein. His collaborations span from orchestral music to pop music, from film scores to video games, demonstrating his ability to adapt to various musical genres.
Beyond his concert and recording career, Tiziano is constantly involved in new musical projects. He recently released a video clip featuring the first-ever recording of an original sonata for solo trombone, which was appreciated by both audiences and critics. In addition to this, he is working on new ideas for unpublished pieces and innovative projects, always striving to push the traditional boundaries of the trombone.
His creations explore new sound possibilities, ranging from contemporary music to the exploration of new musical languages. Tiziano is also a languages enthusiast, speaking Italian, English, German, and Spanish fluently, with a growing interest in Japanese.
In addition to these linguistic skills, he is a virtuoso on the tenor trombone, playing an Antoine Courtois Creation 421 New York model, an instrument that allows him to explore a wide range of musical expressions.
