Simone Pansolin

Originally a classical guitarist, Simone Pansolin owes his education to Maestro Frédéric Zigante. Moreover, he followed seminaries with Eduardo Fernandez, Olivier Chassain, Jukka Savijoky, Fabrizio Giudice, Christian Saggese.

He graduated at the Conservatory N. Paganini of Genoa and he later obtained a postgraduate diploma with specialization in teaching. From 2007 he specialized in the performance practice of lute, baroque guitar and theorbo, taking part in study seminars and master courses in Venice and Padua with Maestro M. Lonardi. Over time he further circuscribed his activity focusing only on performance of the Baroque repertoire, with special emphasis on coeval Italian music. This album blossoms from this itinerary of research. He performs as a concert musician, both soloist and in chamber ensembles.
He is also a poet, besides his activity as a musician; in 2017 he published the collection of poems Transfert, which obtained the critics’ award within the XII edition of the International “Premio Voci - Città di Abano Terme”. Since that same year, he dedicates himself to the study of haiku poetry. In 2021 he issued, for the American publishing house Red Moon Press, his collection of haiku by the title of Pixels. The critics wrote about him: “Compositions too beautiful, of terrible truth, to make you shiver.” (F. Russo, “Cultura e Prospettive”); “A new voice, outside the canons, a voice that makes you think, that caresses the imagination, that materializes the essence of man in the universe.” (M. Carocci, “Oubliettemagazine”)..
