Biografia
* 28. 01. 1967.
In 1990 at the age of 23, Fabio Di Càsola wins the first price of the famous CIEM (Concours
international d'exécution musicale) in Geneva – 18 years after the last time a clarinettist has won the
first price. Soon after that he was invited to leading international festivals, including the Berlin
Festival under Claudio Abbado, the Evian Festival under Mstislav Rostropovich, and Lockenhaus with
Gidon Kremer. In the years that followed he also won the Grand Prix Patek Philippe, the Prix Suisse
for Contemporary Music, and the International Contemporary Music Competition in Stresa. In 1998
the jury and audience in Geneva voted him the "Swiss Musician of the Year."
After a performance of Mozart's clarinet concert at Tonhalle Zurich, SONY decided to publish his
recordings. First there were two chamber music CD's that were followed in 2009 by an orchestral CD
with clarinet works of C.M.v.Weber. This CD received the 'Editor's Choice' of the well-respected
Gramophone Magazine. Also the next CD with Mozart's clarinet concert received many good critics.
Fabio Di Càsola is performing as solo clarinettist with the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, the Basel
Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, the
Musikkollegium Winterthur and many others. He also appears regularly in a very wide range of
chamber music ensembles.
He is professor for clarinet and chamber music at the Zurich Academy of the Arts and he is the artistic
director of the chamber music festival "klang-Musiktage auf Schloss Meggenhorn".
