Alessio Bidoli

Bidoli started learning the violin at age 7, and by the age of 17 he made his debut as a soloist at the Signorelli Theatre in Cortona.[2] He then studied at the Milan Conservatory, from where he graduated in 2006.[2][3] He was then admitted to the Lausanne Conservatory in Salzburg under Pierre Amoyal, and then the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena under Salvatore Accardo.[2][4]

He has performed and collaborated with Bruno Canino,[5] with whom he has recorded a number of albums.[2][6] He has featured with Vittorio Sgarbi in the theatre project Il Fin la Maraviglia, an account of the Baroque age via images and sounds, which was performed at the theatre in Chiasso (Switzerland) in 2015.[7] In April 2009, he developed a viral infection that led to his becoming tetraplegic, due to Guillain-Barré syndrome, but succeeded in playing the violin again two years later.[8] Bidoli has appeared as guest artist in radio broadcasts on Radio France, NDR Kultur, Radio Svizzera Italiana and Rai Radio 3.[9] After teaching for some years at the Conservatory Francesco Cilea in Reggio Calabria, he is currently a violin teacher at the Conservatory Niccolò Piccinni in Bari. He regularly holds masterclasses for violin and chamber music in various Italian cities and is the art director of Musica in Corte Festival in Crema.
