When technique becomes poetry

Giorgio Mandolesi is regarded as one of the defining bassoonists of his generation: he studied in Rome and Milan, specializes in historical and modern bassoon, and serves as the solo bassoonist of the Orchestre de Paris as well as a professor at ZHdK Zurich. His artistic career combines historical performance practice with international orchestral experience and master classes, which charges each concert experience with special excitement.

Wind Academy as a stage for top-level support

The Wind Academy of the Mainz University of Music consolidates coaching, training, master classes, and project work for the wind department. The next master class is scheduled for March 20 and 21, 2027; Mandolesi will be the guest professor in focus.

Why this date has a special impact

Here, academic precision meets immediate live atmosphere. The bassoon takes on in such a setting the role that one often only suspects in a large concert hall: as a color-giving solo instrument with a warm center, as a driving voice in the ensemble, and as a bearer of an independent musical narrative. It is precisely from this that a concert experience arises which does not need to be loud to have an impact. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/wind-academy-hfm-mainz/))

Conclusion: The evening with Prof. Giorgio Mandolesi promises concentrated musicality, inspiring insights into the work of the Wind Academy, and an intense look at the art of the bassoon. Those who love tonal nuance and a vibrant university atmosphere should experience this concert live. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/wind-academy-hfm-mainz/))
