After playing for the Bellini Orchestra in Catania, the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari, the La Scala Theatre in Milan and the Italian Chamber Orchestra conducted by Salvatore Accardo, after 1997 Calogero Palermo became the first clarinet of the Opera Theatre in Rome. Conducted by Gianluigi Gelmetti, he recently recorded Mozart's Concert KV 622, confirming his great gift of understanding this composer. He is also a perfect player of chamber music and a member of many prestigious groups. At the Filarmonica Laudamo he is accompanied by Raffaele Mallozzi, first viola in the Santa Cecilia Symphonic Orchestra and by Costantino Mastropimiano, a pianist who also boasts among other performances all Mozart's camber music for piano, in a very suggestive repertoire: the Mozart's Kegelstatt-Trio KV 498, Shumann's Märchenerzählungen , and the Eight Pieces op. 83 for clarinet, viola and piano by Bruch that, although composed in 1910, is still all steeped in the purest romantic feelings.
