Marianna Chelidoni

Since childhood, Marianna has had a great passion for classical guitar, which she began playing at the age of ten. She began her musical education at the National Conservatory of Athens, where she graduated with honours. She then continued her studies at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels with Antigoni Goni, where she obtained her Bachelor of Music degree.

In search of new cultural and musical inspiration, Marianna moved to Berlin, where she studied at the University of the Arts with Rainer Feldmann. During her studies, she developed a particular interest in Baroque music and took lessons in Baroque guitar and theorbo with Sam Chapman.

Marianna has been invited to perform as a soloist and chamber musician in various countries, including Italy, Germany, Belgium, France and Greece. Particularly noteworthy are her performances at the Alte Musik Fest Friedenau and at the Teatro all’Antica – the first free-standing, purpose-built theatre of modern times – in Italy, as well as her participation in the recording Ros’ Praetorius 1571–2021–1621. Another special moment was the world premiere of works by composer Vasileios Panousis in Berlin. A further highlight was her recent collaboration with the Brussels Region on the occasion of International Women’s Day 2024 – a concert in front of 2,500 listeners at Mont des Arts.
