Conductor and trumpeter

Cristiano De Agnoi

Cristiano De Agnoi is an Italian conductor and trumpeter of remarkable versatility, artistic depth, and international profile. Born in Marostica (Vicenza), he received his formal musical education at the “F.A. Bonporti” Conservatory in Trento and later completed his Second-Level Academic Diploma at the “A. Steffani” Conservatory in Castelfranco Veneto under Maestro Fabiano Maniero. His solid instrumental background forms the foundation of a conducting style distinguished by clarity, precision, and profound musical understanding.

Over recent years, Cristiano De Agnoi has established himself as an expressive and charismatic conductor, leading concerts with renowned symphonic ensembles such as the Royal Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonia Masovia, the Warschauer Kammerphilharmonie (Warsaw Chamber Philharmonic), as well as numerous Italian and European orchestras. His repertoire is broad and stylistically refined, ranging from the great symphonic literature to opera, musical theatre, and film music.

As a conductor, he has led productions and concert performances of operas by Giacomo Puccini, Gioachino Rossini, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, combining stylistic authenticity with dramatic intensity. Equally at ease on the symphonic stage, he is highly regarded for his interpretations of musicals and iconic film music, which captivate audiences through their energy, narrative flow, and emotional immediacy.

Cristiano De Agnoi’s artistic vision is deeply inspired by legendary conducting personalities such as Leonard Bernstein, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and Herbert von Karajan. From Bernstein, he draws communicative power and emotional openness; from Harnoncourt, stylistic awareness and respect for historical context; and from Karajan, architectural clarity and sonic elegance. These influences merge into a personal conducting language that is both intellectually grounded and vividly expressive.

Public and critical response to his concerts has been consistently enthusiastic. Audiences praise his ability to create a direct connection between orchestra and listeners, transforming each performance into a compelling musical experience. His concerts are frequently described as energetic, elegant, and deeply engaging, often rewarded with standing ovations and long-lasting applause.
