Guido Mancusi (born 14 June 1966) is an Austrian-Italian conductor and composer.

Life[edit]

Born in Portici near Naples, Mancusi was the son of the Neapolitan conductor Enrico Mancusi and the Viennese singing teacher Ines Mancusi and grew up in Naples and Padova. He received his first piano lessons from his father, who was a close friend of the composer Nino Rota. After his father's early death, his mother decided to return to her hometown of Vienna with her two children.

Mancusi became boy soprano with the Vienna Boys' Choir. After the Matura at the Musikgymnasium Wien [de], he began studies in bassoon and singing at the Konservatorium der Stadt Wien. During his school years he became a member of the Catholic secondary school fraternity K. Ö. St. V. Frankonia zu Wien, to which he still belongs today. Studies followed at the Vienna Academy of Music in composition with Erich Urbanner and conducting with Karl Österreicher, he received diplomas with distinction. In 1992 he became magister artium with a thesis on Paul Hindemith and founded the Baroque Ensemble Vindobona. First engagements led the Kapellmeister to the Landestheater Niederösterreich in St. Pölten and Coburg, to the Raimundtheater and the Theater an der Wien. At the same time, he assisted Ádám Fischer, Riccardo MutiatLa Scala and at the Bayreuth Festival. Later followed engagements at the opera houses in Graz and Kiel. He is the winner of the 1991 Mozart Medal for the best Mozart interpretation.

He has conducted at the Wiener Festwochen, the KlangBogen Wien, as well as in England, Argentina, Japan and the USA. He was also guest conductor of the Budapest Concert Orchestra and the Slovak Philharmonic, followed by invitations to Burgos, Tel Aviv, Rome, Stockholm, Helsinki, Montevideo and Moscow, as well as with the Philharmonic Orchestras in Copenhagen, Ljubljana and Toronto. He conducted premieres as a guest at the Wiener Kammeroper, the Schauspielhaus Wien as well as the Stadttheater Klagenfurt, the Wiener Volksoper, at the Theater Erfurt and the Israeli Opera Tel Aviv. He was chief conductor at the Stadttheater Klagenfurt from 2001 to 2007. He was a juror at the "concorso internazionale di canto: Riccardo Zandonai", the world premiere of the oratorio Mother Earth at the Wiener Musikverein and the "National Children's Music Competition" on ORF.[2]
