Eugenio Della Chiara
Guitarist Eugenio Della Chiara has established an international career as a soloist and collaborative musician, earning notable recording contracts with the Decca and Naxos labels. He has taught at several major Italian conservatories, joining the staff at the Conservatoire di Musica Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste in 2022. In 2024, Della Chiara made his Naxos debut with a recording of the complete solo guitar works of Frederic Mompou and Gaspar Cassadó.
Della Chiara was born in Pesaro, Italy, on December 29, 1990. He attended the Conservatorio Statale di Musica "Gioachino Rossini" in Pesaro, where he studied with Giuseppe Ficara, graduating with a degree in guitar performance in 2010. Della Chiara was the first musician awarded a scholarship from Pesaro's Fondazione Rossini (2008 and 2012). Concurrent with his conservatory and later private studies, he also attended the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, where he graduated with degrees in classical studies and modern philology. Della Chiara made his recording debut in 2013, issuing RossiniMania on the La Bottega Discantica label; that release contained six new works written as homages to Rossini. In 2015, Della Chiara became the artistic director of MUN -- Music Notes in Pesaro. He finished his school education at the Accademia Chigiana di Siena the following year, studying guitar and chamber music with Andrea Dieci and Oscar Ghiglia.
Della Chiara started his teaching career in 2017, spending time teaching at the conservatories in Latina, Lecce, and Genoa, among others. He is also active as a chamber musician, with both instrumentalists and vocals, including pianist Alberto Chines, mezzo-soprano Teresa Iervolino, and tenor Juan Francisco Gatell. In 2018, Della Chiara was signed to the Decca label and issued his debut there the same year with Guitarra Clásica, featuring guitar transcriptions of works by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. He issued two more albums on Decca, Paganini Live with violinist Piercarlo Sacco, also in 2018, and Schubert: A Portrait on Guitar in 2020.
In 2022, Della Chiara took a teaching position at Trieste's Conservatoire di Musica Giuseppe Tartini. He returned to the recording studio in 2023 with his first LP, Eugenio Della Chiara Plays, on the Stradivarius label with backing from the Italian Music Council. The following year, he was signed to Naxos and issued his debut for that label, Cassadó, Mompou: Complete Solo Guitar Works.
