Luca Luciano (HF 2022) www.harwichfestival.com

Solo Artist appreciated for his interest in philosophy, “Luciano is an amazing clarinettist born in Naples, based in the UK for many years, a specialist of both classical and improvised music as well as an excellent composer”
(Rai Radio3)

“Such a virtuoso musical performance and such joyful uplifting music I just couldn’t resist”(BBC Radio)

Internationally recognized for his groundbreaking contributions to contemporary clarinet music, praised by Musical Opinion (UK’s oldest classical music magazine) for his “constantly beautiful tone”, he starts his career at a very young age and has since “established himself as the friendly face of contemporary clarinet”, according to the Clarinet & Saxophone Magazine.

A former university lecturer in the UK, his work has been described as “romantic, soulful and technically superb” and, with a repertoire that embraces more than two centuries of Western music, Luca is considered one of the most versatile musicians of his generation. As a concert musician and a composer, Luciano has presented new works (either his music or pieces especially written/arranged for him) and rarely played music at some of the most established venues of the UK, Europe and America with a portfolio that also features some of the most renowned universities of the UK and South America.

He is mainly active as a solo artist presenting original projects via concerts/recitals and his experience includes TV and radio performances, master-classes and other educational events, seven solo albums, orchestra and chamber music.
