Composer and broadcaster William Dart talks with Luca Manghi about his concert Flautissimo, organised for Dante Alighieri Chamber Music series. Luca graduated from Conservatorio Arrigo Boito di Parma with the first prize and all jury honours. He went on to study with Roberto Fabiano and at the Biella International Superior Academy with Peter Lukas Graf. From 1991 to 1996 he was Principal Flute of Orchestra Filarmonica di Parma. He moved to Paris in 1996, studying with Jean Ferrandis. He is the winner of several international competitions, including Città di Genova, D. Cimarosa and UFAM Paris. Manghi then moved to New Zealand in 2005 and since then he has been working as a concert musician often invited to play with with the Christchurch Symphony, the Southern Sinfonia, the Auckland Philarmonia Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. He is also involved with New Zealand Opera and lectures in flute and chamber music at university level.
In 2012 Manghi and his partner, pianist David Kelly, founded for Dante Alighieri di Auckland Society the Dante Alighieri Chamber Music series to provide an opportunity for more chamber music in Auckland. This article was published in 2016 on the New Zealand Herald.
