The guitarist Maria Vittoria Jedlowski
was born in Milan (Italy). She started her
musical studies with her pianist mother and
the cellist A.Rossi. She was awarded maximum
marks for her guitar diploma at the Conservatory
of Music in Parma under the guidance of E.
Tagliavini. At the same time she graduated
in Art at
the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Brera in
Milan with a thesis on the musical writings
of Kandinskij. She has furthered her musical
studies with various advanced courses with
musicians such as O. Ghiglia, M.Gangi, A.
Bailes and in particular R. Chiesa. Her artistic
development has benefited enormously from
her contact and musical involvement with
the guitarist and composer F. Kleynjans,
the passionate teacher V. Casagrande, the
lutist H. Smith and the choir director M.
Bordignon, under whose directorship she has
sung for four years recording the Missa pro
Defunctis for double chorus by Pier Francesco
Cavalli.
She has performed in concerts and tournée
in Italy, Austria, Egypt, Portugal, Lebanon,
Germany, England, Holland, Switzerland and
Unided States both as a soloist and with
various chamber music groups. Her chamber
music activities have, in fact, ranged from
playing in flute, violin, voice, harpsichord
and guitar duos, in flute, violin and guitar
trios, to guitar quartets and string quartets
as well as in orchestras.
