Filippo Lattanzi began his study of
percussion instruments when he was 6 years old, obtaining a diploma at a very
young age with the highest marks and praise. He then went to Paris where he was
awarded the gold medal and the Premier Prix de la musique à l'unanimité
et félicitations 4 times. In 1998 he was conferred – for the first time
ever, by the unanimous decision of the board – the Premier Prix Spécial
de Virtuosité en Marimba. During the same period he studied with Michael
Rosen, Robert Van Sice and Leigh Howard Stevens.
His activity as an artist has included
hundreds of concerts as a soloist (in Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Greece,
Mexico, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Venezuela and the United States), with which he
has combined performances in chamber music, where he plays with the NexTime
Ensemble and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir in Vienna,
and the Wood Drops Percussion Ensemble (founded by Lattanzi
himself).
He has to his credit a large number of first-time recordings and
performances, both in Italy and throughout the world, of pieces for Marimba
solo and Concerts for Marimba, Percussion and Orchestra composed by such
authors as Bennett, Berio, Donatoni, Drouet, Fedele, Globokar, Grisey, Ortiz,
Schwantner, Takemitsu, Thomas, and Wood (recorded for the Koch-Schwann-Aulos,
NAXOS, and FORLANE labels). As a soloist, he has produced approximately ten
monographic CD's with DAD RECORDS.
He teaches specialization courses promoted by the European
Community, the Fondazione Arturo Toscanini of
Parma, the Associazione Percussionisti Italiani,
the International Music Teachers Association of Los Angeles,
the Percussive Arts Society, the Oberlin Conservatory of
Music, the PerKumania Percussion Festival of Paris, theConservatorio
