Violino
Anthony Gjezi, USO violin, combines early tutelage from his father with Conservatorio training and national prizes, plus years as additional violin with the Orchestra of Italian Switzerland.
Anthony Gjezi, violin at United Soloists Orchestra (USO), brings a proven record of national recognition, including the 1st Prize at Albania’s “Giovani Strumentisti d’Albania” competition.
He began studying violin at six with his father, who was at the time principal violin of the Albanian Radio and Television Orchestra. After moving to Switzerland in 1991, he enrolled at the Music School of the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana. In 1996, he won 1st Prize in the cantonal selection and 2nd Prize in the national final of “Musica per la Gioventù” in Winterthur. He then obtained a Violin Teacher Diploma at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in the class of Maestro Massimo Quarta, with further studies in Interpretation and Performance also under Mo. Massimo Quarta.
Gjezi has also appeared in TV recordings for Albanian Television, including works by Beethoven and Wieniawski, and he collaborated from 2008 to 2022 with the Orchestra of Italian Switzerland as additional violin.
In USO’s crossover setting, he contributes a firmly rooted classical technique shaped by both competition success and performance-focused training.
