Michele Vannelli is a contemporary Italian conductor, organist, and harpsichordist specializing in Baroque and early music, particularly from the Italian tradition. He is the founder and artistic director of the ensemble Il Fenice, a period instrument group dedicated to historically informed performances of works from composers like Carissimi, Perti, and Colonna—artists whose works feature prominently in his recent recordings.
Based in Italy, Vannelli has carved out a niche through live concerts and recordings that often focus on sacred music from the 17th and 18th centuries performed in historic venues. His work often involves the rediscovery and performance of lesser-known masterpieces from the Italian Baroque archives, bringing scholarly attention and fresh musical life to this repertoire for modern audiences.
