The Quartetto Noferini was founded by the siblings Anna, Andrea, and Roberto
in memory of their father, Giordano Noferini, who passed away in 1977. An
accomplished pianist, composer, and orchestral conductor, Noferini was also the
director of the G.B. Martini Conservatoire in Bologna.
The Quartet’s main focus is the 20th century Italian repertoire, including works by
their father. They have also preformed numerous concerts as a quintet, both with and
without piano, and as a string trio, in the most important international concert halls
and institutions.
Roberto teaches violin at the U. Giordano Conservatoire in Foggia. In addition to
his intense concert schedule, he is also the first violinist to have recorded Niccolò
Paganini’s 24 Capricci on gut strings (Tactus label).


Federico is a professor of violin at the E.R. Duni Conservatory in Matera and is the
founder of and soloist for the Venetian chamber orchestra L’Offerta Musicale.
Anna plays first violin in the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. She also
graduated with honours at the Florence Conservatoire as a violist. Her particular
passion is the performance of baroque music on historical instruments.
Andrea plays first cello soloist for the Opera Theatre of Rome. His widespread
renown as a cello virtuoso is largely due to his recording of Alfredo Piatti’s 13
Capricci, Op.22 and Op.25, for solo cello, which was reviewed as the best Italian
CD of 2007.
Their many recordings include “Lemma”, featuring music by Ennio Morricone for the
Stradivarius label, and an album of music by Mauro Giuliano for the Amadeus label. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
