Marco Serino

Marco Serino has performed in the best music halls around the world, such as the Berlin and Kölner Philharmonie, Herkulessaal and Prinzregententheatre in Munich, Musikverein in Vienna, Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow, Marinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Arts Performance Centre in Seul, Beijing National Theatre, Shanghai Theatre, Mozarteum in Salzburg, Auditorium Parco della Musica “Ennio Morricone” in Rome, Giuseppe Verdi Conservatoire in Milan for the Milan Quartet Society, and Teatro Piccolo Arsenale for the Venice Biennale. Prominent composers have dedicated some of their works to him. He has collaborated with prestigious record labels, including Decca, Fonè, and Tactus, receiving critical acclaim and awards from leading trade magazines such as Strad, Repertoire, Classica and Amadeus. For some years now, he has been collaborating with Arcana, with whom he recorded two albums featuring Ennio Morricone’s Cinema Suites, and he will continue to work with them on new projects. Recently, Serino has recorded a complete set of Haydn’s concerts for Amadeus. Nel 1999 Ennio Morricone (for whom he was the soloist violin in all his soundtracks from 2000) awarded him with the prestigious Premio Michelangelo – an award that had been previously given to Morricone himself, Goffredo Petrassi, Bruno Cagli, Renzo Piano, and Alberto Sordi – for his outstanding contribution to the promotion of human and cultural values
