Tommaso Benciolini

Soloist on the Sofia Philharmonic's visit to Salzburg in June 2026, Tommaso Benciolini shared the programme with Charlotte Spruit. Born in Bologna in 1991, he took his flute diploma at eighteen at the Dall'Abaco Conservatory in Verona with highest marks, a distinction and a scholarship, and won the International Respighi Prize in 2017, which brought his Carnegie Hall debut the following year. He has played as soloist in the Musikverein, the Concertgebouw, Suntory Hall, the Tonhalle, the Herkulessaal, the Seoul Arts Center and La Fenice, and with the Tokyo Philharmonic, the Berliner Symphoniker, the St Petersburg State Symphony and the Hungarian State Symphony. In 2020 he gave the first performance of Andrea Battistoni's flute concerto The Garden of Delights at the Grosser Saal of the Berlin Philharmonie. His first record, a Vivaldi monograph made with L'Appassionata, the chamber orchestra he founded, appeared on Sony Classical in 2021. He teaches at the Conservatory of Trento.
