Caffeina - Luca Franzetti, violoncellista e pupillo di Claudio Abbado

Luca Franzetti
Born in Parma in 1969, Luca Franzetti started playing cello very late, after studying violin, guitar and piano. He began playing in an orchestra at the age of 20. At thirty years old, he was principal Cello at the "G. Verdi" Symphony Orchestra of Milan Giuseppe Verdi, with Riccardo Chailly as Music Director and Conductor, resulting in tours and recordings all over the world.
This Experience Has been the Base of all his professional experience.Later he became the principal Cello for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Edinburgh, the Royal Philharmonic of Flanders in Antwerp and Operanorth in Leeds.
In 2004 Franzetti first worked with Claudio Abbado and this experience had a profound impact on his career. This powerful collaboration between the two still continues today so his talent is present in 90% of Abbado's projects.
Luca Franzetti is a member, as well as one of the soloists, of the Orchestra Mozart in Bologna and a member of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra.Recently, the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole and the Istituto Musicale di Reggio Emilia have hired him as a teacher, and he has also been offered the role of principal cello in the Oviedo Symphony Orchestra in Spain.
Franzetti is currently mainly focusing on a Soloist career. He is involved in important events performing cello solo recitals and solo concerts accompanied by orchestras in Italy, Switzerland, Japan and Venezuela, where he has performed as soloist with the Simon Bolivar Orchestra (Schumann, Cello Concerto in A minor). Future projects include an important Recital for cello solo (music by Ligeti, Cassadò, Bach, Sollima) in the Quirinale Palace (President of Italian Republic Palace), on March the 2nd, which will be broadcasted on the air all through Europe by RAI (Italian State Radio-Television).
Since Franzetti was invited by Abbado to teach in the famous "El Sistema" of Josè Antonio Abreu in Caracas(2009), Venezuela his life has changed radically. The "Sistema" was taking out kids from the Barrios, with a future of crime, and drug dealing; teaching music gave them a chance to take another path.The cello section of the Simon Bolivar Orchestra of Gustavo Dudamel was under his guidance.
He started a path of humanity projects, teaching music in places where music and culture is really needed and can save lives. So since four years he goes one or twice a year (December and June) to Palestine, in Ramallah to teach music in the refugee camps, to give a second chance to kids, whom future is for sure throwing stones to israeli soldiers, with all the consequences of that. Music can help them to understand that they exist and they can spend their lives not hating their neighbors . For the future He's planning to spread same activities to Southafrica, in the townships of Soweto and Cape Town, and South America, in Paraguay.
Luca Franzetti really thinks that nowadays music is not only performance in front of an audience, but a mission to cure some illnesses of human been, and his wish is that every musician became a "Musician for Human Rights". The responsibility of musicians and artists in general, especially nowadays, is crucial in a world which is confusing the concept between Dividing and Sharing (Dividere-Condividere).
