About Me

Marco Danesi is an Italian clarinetist based in Amsterdam. As a collaborative artist Marco largely performs in different chamber music ensembles, that includes Duo, Trio and Quintet, in the most prestigious venues in Holland. In 2016 Marco founded, together with the Italian pianist Paolo Gorini, Duo Ebano; an eclectic and young chamber music ensemble. The Duo was awarded first prize in many international competitions and was invited to perform in Spiegezaal- Concertgebouw Amsterdam and Muziekgebouw Eindhoven and was hosted in radio programs such as Radio 4 in Vondel CS and AvroTros. In October 2018 Duo Ebano has been selected as one of the finalists for the Dutch Classical Talent tour 2019/20. More recently, in January 2019 Duo Ebano had its debut in the New York Chamber Music Festival.

Marco strives consistently to expand his artistic boundaries by exploring new music, blurring genre boundaries, going beyond the conventions of classical performance to connect with audiences and collaborating with living composers. In 2016 Ensemble Resilience was born: a new and visionary project that aims to bring a new concept of sound in the contemporary classical music world.
In December 2017 Marco recorded ‘Neutrinos visiting’, a concerto for clarinet solo and orchestra by the Italian composer Gerardo Gozzi. The collaboration between the two artists started in 2015 in a project based on Messiaen’s ‘Quartet of the end of times’ performed in Lausanne (Switzerland) and recorded at the Royal Academy of music in London.
