Gianluca Marcianò

 

 

Praised by The Sunday Times for his “wide-eyed sense of discovery,” Gianluca Marcianò is one of the most internationally active Italian conductors of his generation, combining a distinguished conducting career with an exceptional commitment to artistic leadership, cultural diplomacy, and institution building.

 

He is currently Artistic Director of the Al Bustan Festival in Lebanon, a position he has held since 2010, Founder and Artistic Director of the Lerici Music Festival in Italy, Principal Conductor of the Orchestra della Magna Grecia in Taranto and Matera, and Principal Guest Conductor of the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra. Alongside his artistic activities, he is regularly engaged as a consultant, curator, and advisor for cultural institutions and major international events throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

 

Marcianò’s work is distinguished by an unusually broad artistic vision that combines opera, symphonic repertoire, education, philanthropy, and cultural development. Throughout his career, he has successfully created, revitalized, and expanded festivals, orchestras, and artistic organizations, establishing himself as one of the few conductors equally comfortable on the podium, in strategic leadership, and in international fundraising.
