Praised for his “lustrous tone” (Musical America) and his “full tone, exacting articulation, and interpretive intelligence” (New York Classical Review), Italian flutist Giorgio Consolati has performed at Carnegie Hall, Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, Miami’s New World Center, and the Beijing China Conservatory. As a soloist, he has performed with Alan Gilbert and the Juilliard Orchestra, as well as with the National Repertory Orchestra. Giorgio is the principal flutist of the York Symphony Orchestra and teaches at the Peabody Institute and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Passionate about chamber music, Giorgio has performed for several years at the Marlboro Music Festival and the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival. Giorgio is a top prizewinner in several competitions, including the National Society of Arts and Letters Woodwind Competition, the De Lorenzo International Flute Competition, and the Emanuele Krakamp Flute Competition. In 2019, Giorgio released Tour De Flute, his debut album. A native of Milan, Giorgio is the first flutist in the Verdi Conservatory’s history to graduate with top honors and honorable mention. A proud recipient of a Kovner Fellowship, Giorgio earned both his Bachelor and Master of Music degrees at The Juilliard School, where he studied with Carol Wincenc. Giorgio is continuing his education with a Doctorate of Music degree under the guidance of Marina Piccinini at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, where he previously earned the prestigious Artist Diploma.
