Marco Beasley studied music at the University of Bologna where he deepened his knowledge of the two stylistic pivots of the late Renaissance – recitar cantando and sacred and secular polyphony. Following graduation he began an active concert career which has taken him to some of the most prestigious concert venues including the Mozarteum (Salzburg), the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), the Accademia di Santa Cecilia (Rome) and the Lincoln Center (New York). In 1984, he co-founded Accordone together with Guido Morini and Stefano Rocco. Most recordings in his wide-ranging discography are with this ensemble. Since 2014 Marco has performed as a solo artist. His personal research into vocal production and the intelligibility of sung texts have earned him the praise of an ever-increasing public. In 2009, the Dutch Association of Theater and Concert Halls nominated him for Best Performer of the Year.
