About this artist

Conductor, Concertina virtuoso

Grisi studied at various musical institutions and his musical spectrum ranges from classicism to the avant-garde and from folk music and "world music" to jazz. In 1988 he founded "Dissuono", an ensemble whose conductor and manager he has remained ever since. He once confessed that he learned to play the concertina after being told to do so in a dream. He is now hailed as one of the leading European exponents of the instrument.
