Dylan Baraldi

Italian cellist Dylan Baraldi is establishing himself as a vibrant voice on the international chamber music scene. In 2025, he will be featured on German radio alongside acclaimed cellists Leonid Gorokhov, Paolo Bonomini, and Laura Moinian, and he will appear in concert with violinists Simone Bernardini, Miray Ito, and Minami Yoshida—continuing a series of high-profile collaborations with some of the most respected soloists and chamber musicians in Europe and Asia. He has performed at prestigious venues including the Philharmonie de Paris, Grosses Festspielhaus and Wiener Saal in Salzburg, Teatro Filarmonico and Teatro Ristori in Verona, National Theater of Korea in Seoul, and the Saigon Opera House. He is a regular guest at festivals such as the Ravenna Festival, Trame Sonore, EUYO Ferrara Chamber Academy, Viotti Festival, Accademia dei Cameristi di Bari, Emilia Romagna Concerti, and Berg:Klassik in Austria. Dylan has performed in chamber groups from duo to octet with artists such as Alexander Gadjiev, Marc Coppey, Giovanni Gnocchi, Giovanni Zanon, Lorenzo Pone, Keigo Mukawa, Axel Trolese, Eszter Haffner, and Marcel Mok. He has also worked with leading chamber mentors including Rainer Schmidt (Hagen Quartet), Eckart Runge (Artemis Quartet), Simone Gramaglia (Quartetto di Cremona), Leonhard Roczek (Minetti Quartet), Wolfgang Redik (Wiener Klaviertrio), Arie Vardi, and Stephan Heinemeyer (ATOS Trio). His orchestral experience includes the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, Fondazione Arena di Verona, NDR Hannover, Teatro la Fenice in Venice, Philharmonie Salzburg. A significant experience was his collaboration with the Ensemble InterContemporain under Matthias Pintscher, specializing in new music. Dylan is particularly interested in the rediscovery of forgotten or lesser-known repertoire. He has performed the opera Limonen aus Sizilien by Manfred Trojahn in the composer’s presence and works by Valentin Silvestrov for a tribute in Cremona. Together with his brother Demian Baraldi, he recorded the world premiere of chamber music by Louis Massonneau for Brilliant Classics. He studied with Mario Finotti at the Conservatorio “C. Pollini” in Padua, graduating with top honors, before completing advanced training at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg with Enrico Bronzi and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris with Marc Coppey. His development was guided through masterclasses with Gary Hoffman, Michael Flaksman, Eric-Maria Couturier, Raphaël Pidoux, Giovanni Sollima and Giovanni Gnocchi. His chamber music studies were completed at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome with Ivan Rabaglia (Trio di Parma).
