Gian Vito Tannoia is, in many ways, the complete organist. His accolades include being the only Italian to reach the nals of the International Organ Competitions of Prague (1989) and Dublin (1995), winning the top prize at the International Course on Organ Improvisation and achieving second place in the Rodi Garganico National Competition for Ancient Organ in Foggia. Not only does he possess the requisite musical and musicological skills (Bachelor of Arts degree, diplomas in organ playing and composition and classical accordion), he also tutors at the Pontical Seminary in Puglia, which provides him with the spiritual intensity to inspire for his performances. Tannoia regularly receives rave reviews for his concerts, such as that in 2004 in Germany, where the Main Post was particularly effusive about his outstanding musicality. Even composers themselves on occasion, like Peter Eben in 1989, have publicly expressed their appreciation for Gian Vitos interpretation of their works (in this particular case Laudes.) Gian Vito combines expressive depth with elegant virtuosity. Thus, while the bulk of his repertoire emanates from the 20th century, he regularly performs works from the 16th century onwards. As a soloist, he has enjoyed collaborations with a number of prestigious ensembles (Orquestra Sinfonica Municipal de Caracas, Venezuela, Orchestra da Camera di Ravenna, Moldovan State Television Orchestra, Collegium Musicum, Orchestra N. Piccinni) and is also frequently invited to give recitals around Europe, playing on some of its most renowned organs (e.g. in Barcelona, Madrid, Prague, Paris, Rome, Ravenna, London Westminster Cathedral, Oxford, Warsaw). His talents have been sought further aeld, too, with performances in Asia and both North and South America. During the Celebration of the Jubilee by Pope John Paul II at St. Paul Outside the Walls Basilica (Rome), Gian Vito was asked to provide the organ accompaniment for the Esagramma Orchestra of Milan (broadcast live around the world). Tannoia continues to publish books, compositions and academic articles. As an organist his concerts have spanned the complete works of Messiaen and Mozart. Gian Vito is the Professor in charge of Organ and Gregorian chant at the Music Conservatory in Matera, which not long ago was awarded the national prize for examinations.
