About
In 1756, his presence is documented in Paris, where he performed on the cello in the “Concert Spirituel”, a testimony to his fame and prestige. The Concert Spirituel, in fact, was created by A.D.Philidor in 1725 and remained active in Paris until 1791, offering musical programs of great importance and hosting the most celebrated directors and instrumentalists of Europe.
By 1765 he was a member of the Ducal Chapel, and on 1 April 1766, Ferrari was appointed first cello of the Chamber Orchestra of the Duke. In January 1785, he was hired as a teacher at the “Regio Collegio dei Nobili” in Parma, a prestigious institution for musical education founded in 1601 at the behest of Ranuccio I Farnese which trained music students from all over Europe.
This “virtuoso” on the violoncello, Carlo Ferrari, was the author of chamber music for strings (sonatas for violin and bass and for violoncello and bass, duets, and sonatas for four instruments), as well as symphonies. His favoured instrument remained, however, the cello.
