with a Prelude performance by Campbell Muffly

Cinzia Milani has caught the attention of British and American press, which define her as "a rare combination of beauty, grace, natural elegance..." and note her "a deep sense of music with a brilliant technique and a powerful sound and expression, considered among the best exponents of the concert artists in the world...."

She has performed around Canada and the U.S. and taught guitar masterclasses at Royal Conservatory of Toronto. In addition to recording for Rai Radio 2 and Antenna 3, she has collaborated with composer Adelmo Prandi to catalogue previously unpublished music for the guitar. Tracks from her CD "Ritratto di Donna" on the Jump Musical Edition label have been broadcast on RAI in Italy as well as on national television in France, Germany, and Japan.  

Milani has also performed as a guitarist, dancer, and singer in the Argentinian show "Sonatango" and later recorded a CD under the same name. She recorded the CD "Guitar" under the Amadeus label, including music by Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Margola, Domeniconi, Prandi, and work written for her by Italian composers Raffaele Cacciola and Marco Betta. 

Milani is creator of the show "Venere," which includes her performances of her own compositions, in collaboration with the dance company Performing Danza. This show represents the feminine universe told through music and dance. She is working on a series of recordings dedicated to composers and guitarists of the last century, the first CD of which is entitled "A Tribute to Ida Presti." Classical Guitar Magazine nominated Milani's video of Presti's "Danse Rythmique" its "Video Pick of the Week." Other recordings in the series include tributes to Teresa De Rogatis and Maria Luisa Anido. International press notes that Milani's work has "created a new artistic path that draws abundantly from the past, presenting it in a new light. It's a work of revitalization, of revisitation, of stylistic revival. Highly recommended."

After beginning the guitar at a very young age, Milani graduated from the Conservatorio "A Boito" in Parma, Italy, at the age of 18. She studied with Mauro Storti and later studied interpretative analysis with Argentinian composer Oscar Roberto Casares. 

Milani is sponsored by Royal Classics Strings and Bam guitar cases. In addition to her career as a guitarist, Milani plays the violin and has played in various orchestras in Italy, Spain, and France.
