ABOUT
The EVOLUTION CLASSICAL DUO was born from the meeting of two unique musicians who share a deep passion for music, innovation, and creativity, pushing beyond the boundaries of tradition.
Their signature trait is originality – not only in their repertoire, which ranges from classical music to soundtracks and jazz, but also in their distinctive approach to performance.
Francesca Giordanino masterfully blends violin and voice, combining refined technique and expressive depth in a rare and captivating fusion.

TELEVISION EXPERIENCE AND INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION
The Evolution Classical Duo also stands out for its ability to independently produce high-quality audiovisual content, combining music, technology and artistic vision.
✨ In 2020, their video for Astor Piazzolla's “Libertango” was broadcast in prime time on SKY CLASSICA HD , winning over audiences with its interpretative intensity.
✨ In the same year, the Duo created an original reinterpretation of "Silent Night" for violin, voice and cello, which became the symbolic song of the channel's Christmas week.
Both videos were entirely recorded, filmed, and edited by the Duo, without any external support , using a simple smartphone for filming. This creative and technological independence makes the Evolution Classical Duo a unique entity in the Italian classical music scene, capable of combining tradition, innovation, and multimedia production with high-impact results.
ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
In the autumn of 2024, the Superintendent GIUSEPPE ACQUAVIVA appointed them RESIDENT ARTISTS at the TEATRO SOCIALE di CAMOGLI , thanks to their assiduous presence in the seasons of the last 3 years (17 concerts from 2023 to today).
REVIEWS & IMPRESSIONS
"Giordanino and De Masi are instrumentalists of undeniable individual talent, and together they form an exceptionally close-knit duo, perfectly attuned in dynamics, phrasing, and musical breathing. These qualities emerged naturally throughout a program featuring works by Morricone (The Mission, Cinema Paradiso), Bacalov (The Postman), Gardel, Kreisler, and above all, Piazzolla. Among the latter, the most memorable moment was his tender Ave Maria, during which Giordanino set aside her bow to sing the melody with heartfelt expressiveness. The performance was met with the warmest applause."
Prof. ROBERTO IOVINO, Critic of REPUBBLICA
Review of the show
"THE FIFTH ELEMENT"
"Heartfelt congratulations on the performance, the poetic brilliance of the script, and the evocative staging — composed in rhymed quatrains of dodecasyllabic verse. Best wishes for this captivating musical narrative and the sensory journey which, as the plot suggests, follows the path of a true metaphysical hero."
Prof. CALOGERO ROTONDO, Writer and narrator
"The EVOLUTION CLASSICAL DUO has already captivated audiences at our theater with outstanding performances, marked by exceptional artistic sensitivity and a remarkable gift for communication. Their versatility and talent make them a truly distinctive presence on the contemporary music scene — capable of engaging with multiple art forms and creating immersive experiences that go far beyond the traditional concert format."
