Stefano Moccetti is a Swiss guitarist, composer and researcher from Lugano (Switzerland). His approach to performance and composition combines intuition, experimentation and a close relationship with the instrument.

​

He performs as a soloist and chamber musician in Switzerland and across Europe. His recent performances include Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra, Op. 99 at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano.

​

In 2020, he formed a duo with violinist Anton Jablokov, touring Switzerland, Italy, Ireland and Germany. Their collaboration led to Fantasy of Strings, an album featuring original co-compositions alongside arrangements of classical, folk and popular music.

​

Alongside his performing activity, Stefano composes and develops new musical projects in collaboration with other artists, including recent works for guitar, cello and voice produced by Radiotelevisione svizzera (RSI). His collaborations also include a reworking of Canticum Novum for solo guitar, developed with Swiss composer Ivo Antognini and published by Bergmann Edition.

​

His doctoral research at the International Guitar Research Centre, University of Surrey (UK), under the supervision of Professor Stephen Goss, focuses on collaborative composition and the interplay between composer, performer and instrument in the creative process.

He studied with Lorenzo Micheli at the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana, graduating with a Master of Music in Performance in 2019.
