Join an exclusive experience with Phil Palmer, one of the most in-demand and influential session musicians in the history of pop and rock music. In this 75-minute masterclass titled “Life of a Session Man”, inspired by his autobiography Session Man – Una vita da chitarrista, Palmer will take the audience on a personal and musical journey spanning over fifty years of iconic records, world tours, and legendary collaborations.

Guided by Riccardo Yuri Carlucci, the session will become a vibrant conversation enriched with live performances, technical insights, and a wealth of anecdotes that reveal what it truly means to be a musician at the service of the music. From his first steps on the ukulele at the age of five to stadium tours with Dire Straits, and from studio sessions with Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, George Michael, and Lucio Battisti, Phil Palmer will share his story with honesty and depth.

This will be a chance to explore the evolution of the session player’s role—through improvisation, adaptability, and emerging technologies—and to dive into the guitar style of an artist who blends subtlety and character, technique and musical sensitivity. The audience will also have the opportunity to interact directly with Palmer, asking questions and engaging with one of the most versatile figures in the international music scene.

This event is a must-attend for musicians, guitarists, and music lovers. A moment of artistic and personal growth, offering inspiration and valuable insight to anyone who lives music with passion.
