Giacomo Monica
Giacomo Monica studied music at the Parma Conservatory of Music, graduating in violin with honours and distinction; he then studied at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena with Salvatore Accardo. He is a professor of violin at the Conservatory 'Boito' in Parma. Since the 70s, he has also devoted himself to choral music and to ethnomusicology research, speaking at national conferences on folk music, and participating in the juries of many international competitions. Systematically, he takes courses for young singers and choir directors. In 1978, he founded the Coro Montecastello, mixed voices, for which he wrote the pieces that make up the repertoire and with which he carries out regular choral activities. In 2008, he received the prestigious "Premio Caravaggio" for his attention to and appreciation of the folk song through the ethnomusicology research and choral arrangements. Recently, finding himself quite interested in the sonorities enclosed in Pinuccio Sciola's sculptures, he studied, in a rigorous way, new expressive paths in dialogue with the voice.
