Wolfsburg : Mario di Nonno and Nazareno Ferrugio guests in the Garden Hall of the Castle.

Goose pimples during the first few minutes of the concert - and the first roaring applause...

Sometimes the one rumbles, sometimes the other dances; sometimes the first sways in melodious melodies, adding the second sharp chord as accentuation. Pianist Nazareno Ferruggio and violinist Mario di Nonno gave a dreamy, rumbustious, rousing concert in the Garden Hall on Monday at the invitation of the Italian Consular Agency...

Standing ovations after the successful conclusion.

Spring concert thrills audience

As a violin teacher Mario di Nonno is one of the music school’s outstanding tutors. He played as soloist Max Bruch´s “Violin Concerto No 1 in G Minor” with the symphony orchestra. The finale with the main theme “A la Ungaresca´´ showed especially his brilliant virtuosity in the beautifully sounding and formally balanced ”Fantasy”.

Here he showed the whole spectrum of sounds that he can conjure: the instrument sang, chirped, whistled and breathed. (...)

The reserves he could still mobilize after the exhausting programme were unbelievable :
As an encore and highlight he played Paganini’s “Solo Capriccio No 17” with the highest precision and finely nuanced.

Charity concert at Schloss Bedburg

... in favor of the German Children's Hospice Association a great success.

Thus the audience experienced an hour of infernal violin witchcraft. It was a morning of brilliant virtuosity when the unplayable was played. (...)
His interpretations lack no emotion despite his sparkling technical skills and every beat is cleverly polished.

Still not even twenty years old, the violinist Mario di Nonno could perform as soloist of the symphony orchestra “Umberto Gordano” in Foggia (Italy). (...)
He successfully thrilled his audience thanks to his cultivated sound and his poised interpretation.

Violin virtuoso from Italy

Metzingen( 10th November 2003). Mario di Nonno, who in April 2002 had already impressed the audience in Reutlingen with his astonishing violin virtuosity, was asked once again by the “Kreissparkasse” savings bank to provide an outstanding highlight for the 150th anniversary of the Metzinger bank. The violinist, who was born in Foggia, performed together with the Georgian pianist Alexander Reitenbach at the Sunday matinee concert and his violin skills left nothing to be desired. These were of course especially expressed in his solo performance of an aria variation of Niccolo Paganini. How he played the violin with two voices, produced trills, picked with both hands making the violin sound like a mandolin, how he dabbed and ticked away with the bow and the tone climbed up high to a husky whisper; this was dramatic, impressive musical artistry. As thanks for the prolonged applause from the large audience, they played the song “Estrellita” by Ponze and Heifetz.
