Curriculum
"Giovanni Costantini is the right man when on stage you need not only a conductor with a precise gesture aiming at clear expression, but also a presenter who is not afraid of introducing the audience both to effective listening and to some moments of entertainment." Filippo Lovato, Il Giornale di Vicenza

About me
I was born in 1983 and live in Northern Italy, between Vicenza and Trentino. I have a daughter, Elisabetta, who is 13 now.
My days revolve around music, which I study, teach, direct, play, explore and introduce people to. I also sing with Elisabetta or just try to understand music. Quietly.
Music is what I know best. I attended both junior and high school at Vicenza Conservatoir. But I also studied law at university, though I didn’t get a degree.
I have always worked in the cultural sector, in different roles and ways, gradually defining my present profession as an art and music director.
Being a member of the Scouts, i.e. the Italian AGESCI, has greatly influenced my personality and behaviours, while my music career hasn’t prevented me from having several experiences of volunteer work.
When the weather is fine and my head full, I leave everything behind and go cycling in the hills or hiking in the mountains because I need to be in close contact with nature, a bit far away from other human beings.
Palladio’s architecture and the mountains in Trentino shaped me. Music accomplished the work. To social networking sites I prefer true close friends and I do enjoy sharing my thoughts with them.
