Andrea Marcon is a renowned Italian conductor, organist, harpsichordist, and scholar deeply embedded in the rich tapestry of Baroque and Classical music. Born in Treviso in 1963, Marcon has established himself as a pivotal figure in the early music revival, dedicating a significant part of his career to researching, performing, and recording the works of composers from the 17th and 18th centuries. His profound expertise in historically informed performance practices has earned him critical acclaim and led to a prolific recording portfolio that spans a wide range of repertoire including works by Claudio Monteverdi, Alessandro Grandi, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, among others.

Marcon’s foundation, the Venice Baroque Orchestra, which he established in 1997, has been instrumental in bringing forgotten Venetian Baroque compositions back to the concert stage and has played a crucial role in his international success. Under his direction, the ensemble has toured extensively, offering performances that are both vibrant and scholarly nuanced. Andrea Marcon's contributions to the field of early music, his enthralling performances, and his dedicated research work, have positioned him as a leading authority on Baroque music. His recent recordings, including "Duello d’archi a Venezia" and his interpretations of Monteverdi's sacred music, continue to bolster his reputation, bridging the gap between historical scholarship and contemporary musical expression.
