Angelo Baselli

Angelo Baselli began his musical studies at the “Isidoro Capitanio” Popular School of Music in Brescia.

He graduated with full marks in clarinet from the “G. Verdi” Conservatory in Milan in 2001, under the guidance of Maestro Sergio Delmastro. Thanks to European Union scholarships, he continued his advanced training at the Scuola di Alto Perfezionamento Orchestrale in Saluzzo (2002) and at the Accademia del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino (2004). In 2006, he completed the advanced course at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano with Maestro Milan Rericka.
As a soloist and chamber musician, he has received awards in national and international competitions. He collaborates regularly with chamber ensembles, symphony orchestras, and opera companies, including the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Teatro Regio di Torino, Teatro Verdi di Trieste, Arena di Verona, Teatro Regio di Parma, and Teatro Comunale di Bologna.
From 2012 to 2016, he worked with renowned actor Marco Paolini on the theatrical productions Ballata di Uomini e Cani (as instrumentalist and co-composer of original music) and Song n°14, performing in some of Italy’s most prestigious venues.
Alongside his classical work, he has always cultivated a passion for folk music, with a particular interest in klezmer. He has initiated several klezmer projects over the years, most recently the group Cidnewski Kapelye. He participated in KlezFest 2015 in London and in several editions of the Yiddish Summer Weimar workshops, studying with international klezmer masters such as Joel Rubin, Alan Bern, Veretski Pass, Christian Dawid, Sasha Lurje, Yair Dalal, and Moussa Berlin.
Since 2017, he has collaborated with singer and Jewish studies scholar Miriam Camerini. Together they have created several productions, including Messiah and Revolution, dedicated to the history of the Bund, the Jewish socialist party active in Russia, Poland, and Lithuania in the early 20th century, whose members played a key role in Jewish resistance to Nazism.
