Marco Salvatori

Italian classical oboist. He studied the Oboe with [a=Augusto Loppi] and graduated in 1989 at the S. Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, before postgraduate studies with [a=Maurice Bourgue] and [a=Thomas Indermühle] in the Fiesole Music School. Discovering the beauty of playing in an orchestra from a very young age, he immediately dedicated himself to this activity with great passion, collaborating as a first solo oboe with orchestras such as the [a=Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia], the [a=Filarmonica della Scala], the [a=Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale Della RAI], the [a=Israel Philharmonic Orchestra] and the [a=Orchestra Del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino], with conductors like [a=Claudio Abbado], [a=Carlo Maria Giulini], [a=Zubin Mehta], [a=Riccardo Muti], [a=Seiji Ozawa], [a=Riccardo Chailly], [a=Valery Gergiev] and [a=Daniele Gatti]. His activity as a soloist led him to prestigious Italian and international stages including the Musikverein in Vienna, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, and the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden. At the same time, as a stimulus to the expansion of his repertoire, he participated in prize competitions dedicated to the Oboe, ranking first in the "September Musica 1990 Award" in Turin and in the "Giuseppe Tomassini" Competition in Petritoli in 1995. In 1999 he won the Primo Oboe competition in the Orchestra of the Carlo Felice Theater in Genoa and a few months later the competition for Primo Oboe in the [a=Orchestra Del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino]. He constantly devotes himself to chamber music, preferring small groups with whom he has performed in important concert institutions in Italy and abroad, and to teaching in Masters that have seen him engaged also in Japan and South America.
