GuerzonCellos

GuerzonCellos is composed by two cellists, father and son, who engage in works ranging from the Baroque era to jazz and rock, and include original works. They give life to an extraordinarily unique concert, where music has neither genre nor age, but only different colours.

The band was born at home, when a very young Tiziano asked to be presented with his first cello. Later, in 2009, he was awarded first prize at the Early Music competition in Padua (2009); in 2010 and 2011, in duo with pianist Nicolas Giacomelli, he was awarded first prize at the Pianoro competition, near Bologna. In 2016 he graduated with honours and special praise at the Conservatory of Bologna. He performed already in many concerts as the principal cello in chamber orchestras such as Arkè Orchestra, Cembal Orchestra, Orchestra Senza Spine, Dalla Classica, Leipzig Conservatory and Lorelay in Germany, frequently performing as a soloist or principal cello, and playing the solo parts of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, in Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, in Puccini’s Tosca and in Rossini’s Guglielmo Tell. His repertoire includes the solo concertos by Schumann, Dvořák, Shostakovich (no. 1) and Haydn (no. 2), which he played with orchestra. He played at the Cello Biennial in Amsterdam, and in Barcelona with Giovanni Sollima’s cello ensemble; he performed Sollima’s Violoncelles, Vibrez! as a soloist, both at the Teatro Comunale of Bologna and in the theatre of Erl (Austria). Currently he studies at the master courses at the Pôle supérieur d’enseignement artistique in Paris and at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome.
