CORINA MARTI

A virtuoso of the harpsichord and recorder, recognized worldwide for her 'outstanding
and expressive' interpretations (Toccata) and impeccable performances (Diapason). The artist performs both as a soloist and as a member of chamber ensembles, regularly concertizing in Europe, North America, and South America, as well as in the Middle and Far East.

Corina combines performance practice with pedagogy, teaching the next generation of performers of early music. She teaches flute and early keyboard instruments at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel (Switzerland) – the only institution in the world that offers education in this field, and Corina is its only lecturer teaching the performance of early keyboard instruments. The artist also conducts masterclasses worldwide.

Her extensive discography, covering repertoire from 14th-century istanpitte and intabulations to Baroque chamber music and solo concerts, reflects the artist's wide musical interests and her technical skills.

Corina Marti has performed with many early music ensembles and orchestras, including Hespérion XXI, Coro della Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana, and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra. She is also the co-director and founding member of the ensemble La Morra. This award-winning group, specializing in the performance of music from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, 'effectively captures the attention of listeners' (Gramophone).

Corina is also active in research, and her multifaceted studies of the repertoire
and reconstructions of keyboard instruments and recorders from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance have made a significant contribution to the revival of these instruments in contemporary performance practice.
