Gianfranco Giordano

Having graduated in both piano and singing from the Palermo Conservatoire of Music, Gianfranco Giordano has maintained a busy concert career in both opera and chamber music, and was the overall winner of the Cilea Competition and the Valentini Prize at the Mario Del Monaco Competition. Since 1986, he has been a member of the Choir of the Fondazione Teatro Massimo in Palermo. He conducted the Choir of the Fondazione Gioacchino Arnone for ten years; in 2004, he founded the Cantate Omnes Choir, of which he remains the conductor to this day.

The Cantate Omnes Choir, conducted by Maestro Gianfranco Giordano since its inception, has been active on the Sicilian music scene for twenty-two years and boasts a repertoire ranging from sacred to secular music, from opera to modern American classical music and the most famous film soundtracks. The choir has performed more than two hundred and fifty concerts, many of which were charity events. It has performed at Palazzo Steri, the UN Hall at the Teatro Massimo, the Teatro Politeama and other prestigious venues in Palermo and across Sicily. For several years now, it has also been collaborating with the Palermo Classica Association.
