Constantin Riccardi is a Franco-Luxembourgish violinist and conductor. Holder of a Master of Arts from the Royal Academy of Music in London, he is the artistic director of the Agora Music Festival in Luxembourg, which he recently created with his wife and musical partner Nora Braun.
His musical interests are vast and he enjoys performing the great works of the classical repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary music, as well as more 'popular' music such as tango, flamenco and other folk styles. He is also particularly fond of film music.
As a violinist he performs most often in chamber music with his two ensembles, the Trio Conova and the Trio Accord. He also had the opportunity to play with renowned performers such as Emmanuel Strosser, Alena Baeva or Cyprien Katsaris. As a soloist he recently played Beethoven's violin concerto with the Sain Dié des Vosges symphony orchestra and will perform it again in July 2023.
As a conductor he is currently doing a Masters at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen in the class of Giordano Bellincampi and Michael Schoenwandt. As part of his studies he was able to conduct most of the orchestras in Denmark such as the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra, Odense Symphoniorkester, Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, Aalborg Symphony Orchestra, Prinsens Musikkorps Skive and Randers Kammerorkester.
Constantin plays a violin by Carlo Landolfi from 1775.
