Giacomo Vardeu

Musician

Giacomo Vardeu began his piano studies at the age of eleven; later, he took accordion lessons with Maestro Carlo Boeddu at the Civic School of Nuoro. He quickly demonstrated his ability and passion for this instrument, which allowed him to develop the traditional music of Orosei, his native village.

He has begun an intense research activity and has performed in several concerts, accompanying folk groups and collaborating with groups like Tenores, Concordu, Cori, instrumental ensembles, etc.

He has performed with great musicians, like Ernest Raiseghen. He has taken part in numerous concerts, including one on August 15th, 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, for the Time in Jazz Festival in Berchidda, where he performed with Maestro Fabio Calza; at the end of the show, he had the honour of playing with Paolo Fresu and artists like Marco Bardoscia and Dino Rubino. 

In December 2021, Giacomo won the Alziator Award in Cagliari, a prize which is given to “excellencies” in Sardinia. In May 2022, he collaborated with the street artist Manu Invisible in a musical and artistic project known as “Manu in music”, culminating with the creation of a piece of street art and a special concert in Orosei. 

In June 2022, he was invited to the “Festa delle 7 Arti” in Rome, sponsored by Rai Cultura, during which he performed on the river Tiber with many great artists. 

He was a guest at the 2023 Time in Jazz Festival, during which he was awarded the Biorepack Jazz Prize by Paolo Fresu and the president of Biorepack.
