Bio

Francesco Geminiani (1687–1762) was an Italian violinist, composer, and music theorist of the late Baroque period. Born in Lucca, he studied with Alessandro Scarlatti and Arcangelo Corelli before moving to England, where he became a leading figure in London’s musical life. His compositions, especially the concerti grossi and violin sonatas, are noted for their technical demands and expressive depth. Beyond performance, Geminiani was an influential teacher and author of treatises on violin playing and harmony. His theoretical writings helped shape eighteenth-century performance practice, and his arrangements of Corelli’s works contributed to the spread of the Italian style across Europe.
