Mr. Marchione is currently one of the most respected guitarists in Europe. He studied at the academy of music in Rome and thereafter won innumerable awards at international and national competitions including Ancona 1979/80, “L. Legnani” Parma 1981, “M. Guiliani” 1982, “Ville de Sablé” 1985, Gargnano 1989, “N. Paganini” 1991, “Città di Latina” 1992 and is now a regular guest at festivals throughout Europe (Italy, Spain, France, Holland, England, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Rumania, Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Croatia) appearing both as soloist and with various ensembles. He has performed in most of the great concert halls in Europe including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Additionally, while tourings in Russia he was invited to perform in the prestigous Main Auditorium of “Tchaikowsky Conservatory in Moscow” as well as with the Philharmonia of St. Petersburg, an honour very rarely bestowed upon a guitarist. Both concerts were sell-outs and received standing ovations. He frequently performs with orchestras across Europe and in 1998 he gave his debut at the Berliner Philharmonie in 1988
.
Many guitar composers have dedicated compositions to him, such as Abel Carlevaro, John Duarte, Carlo Domeniconi, G. Drozd and Simone Iannarelli. Mr. Marchione has made many highly-praised transcriptions for guitar including transcriptions of Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin and Telemann’s 12 Fantasias for solo violin, which have both been released on CD.

Mr. Marchione is also a renowned pedagogue and lecturer who’s students have included Marcin Dylla, Goran Krivopapic Irina Kulikova, Vladimir Gorbach, Tal Hurwitz and Florian Larousse. As a testament to his pedagogical skill many of his students have won prizes in international competitions (over 60 prizes and over 40 first prizes at the last count).
