Access to the designated space at least 45 minutes before the event would be important for setup and a short soundcheck.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Gionata Brunelli completed his musical studies at the Conservatories of Mantua, graduating in 1995, and Verona, where he obtained the second-level academic diploma with top marks and honours. He furthered his studies at the Scuola di Alto Perfezionamento in Saluzzo (CN) under E. Wilson and O. Badila, later focusing on chamber repertoire and Baroque performance practice with G. Guglielmo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>He has served as Principal Cello with the Orchestra Sinfonica Amadeus, the Filarmonica di Parma, the Orchestra Sinfonica di Brescia, the Orchestra of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna and the Orchestra of the International Piano Festival of Brescia and Bergamo.
