Lorenzo Micheli

Over the past decades, Lorenzo Micheli has played almost 1,000 concerts all over Europe, America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. He has enjoyed collaborating with a diverse array of artists, from David Knopfler of Dire Straits to the Assad Brothers.

Since 2002, he has been performing worldwide with Matteo Mela, under the name of "SoloDuo." The pair has performed in such venues as New York's Carnegie Hall, Seoul's Sejong Hall, Kiev's Hall of Columns, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw and Vienna's Konzerthaus. Their duo was hailed by The Washington Post as "extraordinarily sensitive — nothing less than rapturous."

Lorenzo is Guitar Professor and Head of the Performance Department at the University School of Music in Lugano, Switzerland. He is also on faculty as Artist in Residence at the University of Colorado Boulder and Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia.

He has recorded more than 20 CD's on the labels Decca-Universal, Naxos, Stradivarius, Pomegranate, Solaria, and Amadeus. Today, Lorenzo records exclusively for Decca-Universal.
