Pianist, composer, conductor. He is a musician, scholar and teacher acknowledged by international critics. Since 2009, he has been teaching at the Conservatorio Statale di Musica ‘Giuseppe Verdi’ in Milan. He has taught ‘Studio della strumentazione applicata alla partitura’ in the Master of Musicology Degree Course at the University of Milan. Among his many honours, he was awarded the title ‘Grand Officier de l’Ordre Mondiale de la Science Musicale’ in Geneva in 1994. He has performed in Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Poland, Lichtenstein, Bulgaria, Brazil and Croatia, where he has released concert recordings for radio and television. W. Stettler, musicologist and music critic, described him as an “eclectic, profound, coherent musician… Mario Calisi, a diamond-sounding pianist, fascinates and enraptures even the most demanding audience… His sense of metrics and adherence to tempi recalls Glen Gould in his charm.”
