Biography
Antonio Magarelli is a choir and orchestra conductor. He studied piano, music teaching, choral music and choir conducting, band instrumentation and orchestral conducting at the Conservatoires of Music in Bari and Monopoli. He then went on to study choral and orchestra conducting with Peter Neumann, Gary Graden, Nicole Corti, Javier Busto, Bo Holten and Dominique Rouits. He also attended the International Academy for Choral Conductors and Singers in Fano and the choral conducting seminar at the Conservatory of Monopoli with Filippo Maria Bressan. He studied singing techniques with Claudio Cavina and Steve Woodbury and specialised in the interpretation and practice of the Renaissance and Baroque repertoire with Giovanni Acciai and Ottavio Dantone. He also premiered two new works by Apulian composers: the Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Joannem (1816), a sacred oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra by Vito Antonio Raffaele Cozzoli (1777-1817); Inno al Sole, a cantata for two sopranos and orchestra by Giuseppe Millico (1737-1802); and Gli Stravaganti, a comic intermezzo in two acts with music by N. Piccinni. He recorded with the DIGRESSIONE MUSIC record label the Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Joannem (1816), a sacred oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra by Vito Antonio Raffaele Cozzoli and Officia in feria V et VI maioris hebdomadae by Antonio Pansini (1703- 1791). He has also worked as a guest conductor at festivals in Italy, England, Hungary, the Netherlands and France, as well as at the 'Pontifical Committee of Historical Sciences' in Rome. As a guest conductor, he has performed symphonic concerts, with a preference for music from the 18th and 19th centuries. He also conducted the first performance of Giovanni Maria Trabaci's Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Lucam e Joannem for the Duni Festival in Matera. He works with the orchestra Accademia Amsterdam as a teacher for summer courses in baroque music and as a conductor in concerts in Italy and the Netherlands. He used to be a lecturer at the 'Rodolfo Celletti' Belcanto Academy in Martina Franca. He is also director of the 'Cappella Musicale Corradiana'.
