Eugenio Palumbo is establishing himself on the international music scene as one of the most compelling voices of his generation. A versatile and inquisitive musician, he moves effortlessly between classical, contemporary and folk repertoires, making the dialogue between genres the defining feature of his artistic identity. He has shared the stage with world-renowned artists such as Riccardo Muti, Daniel Harding, Alma Deutscher, Richard Galliano and Stefano Bollani.

During the 2026/2027 season, he will perform the world premiere of Silvio Ranieri’s Concerto in D major, a Romantic masterpiece for mandolin presented in a new symphonic version that reconstructs its lost original orchestration. He will also continue his collaboration with I Virtuosi Italiani, exploring the great Baroque repertoire, from Antonio Vivaldi to Johann Sebastian Bach.

In the field of chamber music, he will embark on an international tour with ALL’ITALIANA, a new duo project with guitarist Lorenzo Bernardi, dedicated to showcasing some of the most representative works of the Italian musical tradition. Together with Valentina Gabrieli, he will present 8 CORDE E 88 TASTI (8 Strings and 88 Keys), a programme exploring the evolution of the original repertoire for mandolin and piano, beginning with compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, on the occasion of the bicentenary of the composer’s death.

He has released 10 PRELUDES FOR SOLO MANDOLIN BY RAFFAELE CALACE on Da Vinci Classics, becoming the youngest mandolinist to record all ten preludes in their entirety. He performs the complete cycle live throughout Europe in a unique concert programme that has attracted media attention, including radio interviews and articles in newspapers and specialist music publications.

Born in Carpi in 2001, he began studying the mandolin with his father, Roberto Palumbo. He graduated with honours and special distinction in both Mandolin and Chamber Music from the Luca Marenzio Conservatory in Brescia, where he studied under Dorina Frati. He continued his advanced studies at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège with Vincent Beer-Demander and has attended masterclasses with internationally renowned performers, including Avi Avital at the Stauffer Academy in Cremona. Since 2026, he has been pursuing a PhD at Roma Tre University.
