To talk about Eddy Marcano is to talk about the rescue and development of popular music in Venezuela. Marcano reflects upon Venezuela’s musical history, transporting his country’s musical traditions to new frontiers. His music is the vital link between two distinct worlds: the academic and the popular.

Marcano is the first violinist of the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra and also one of the most revered orchestra directors in his native Venezuela. His work has helped to enrich the Latin-American violin repertoire, and his sound has travelled around the globe, breaking barriers and setting new standards in famous concert halls, such as New York’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, and the Smithsonian institute in Washington.

Thanks to his development as one of Latin America’s foremost musicians, Marcano became a member of the Music Department of UNESCO (United Nation Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization).

Eddy and Fabiola will combine their talents, instruments and personalities in an exciting tour around Europe. European audiences will be sure to revel in the diversity, versatility and quality of the Venezuelan music offered by both musicians.
