Eduardo Sirtori 
Bassoonist

Eduardo Sirtori is an Argentine-born Italian bassoonist whose artistic profile combines orchestral experience, chamber music, solo repertoire and a distinctive interpretative approach rooted in precision, imagination and close attention to the score. Trained in Germany with two of the leading bassoonists of their generation, he studied with Prof. Gustavo Núñez at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf and completed postgraduate studies with Prof. Klaus Thunemann at the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin.

​

Awarded at an early age by institutions including UNESCO, the German Federal Foreign Office, the Antorchas Foundation in Buenos Aires and the Argentine Mozarteum, Sirtori has appeared with the Entre Ríos Symphony Orchestra in Argentina and the Verbier Festival Orchestra in Switzerland. He has also performed as a guest with ensembles such as the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and the Orquestra del Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía.

​

His orchestral and ensemble work has brought him into collaboration with conductors including James Levine, Zubin Mehta, Kent Nagano and Lorin Maazel. Alongside his orchestral experience, Sirtori regularly performs with Ensemble Kontraste in Nuremberg and the Kammerakademie Potsdam, reflecting his continued engagement with chamber music, flexible ensemble formats and repertoire beyond the standard canon.

​

Composers including Gordon Lawson, Daniel Swetz, Werner Heider, Walter Heinze, Roberto Pérez and Sérgio Azevedo have dedicated works to him — a recognition of his individuality as a performer and of an interpretative approach that combines creative imagination with a strictly score-based understanding of the music.

​

Since 2005, Eduardo Sirtori has taught bassoon and chamber music at the University of Évora, and since 2015 also at the Arts Academy of Sines in Portugal.
