My musical journey began at the age of 14, but the piano immediately became a deep vocation, a life choice. After my early studies, I attended the Giovanni Paisiello Music Institute in Taranto, graduating with top marks, honours and a special mention, under the guidance of maestro Paolo Cuccaro. In 2009, I began to engage with international organisations, studying at the Schola Cantorum in Paris with Maestro Aquiles Delle Vigne and at the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg with maestro Claudius Tanski. In 2014, I obtained my second level degree with 110 cum laude at the Conservatorio Nino Rota in Monopoli, with maestro Benedetto Lupo. I also attended masterclasses with Ciccolini, Poli, Camicia, Somma and others. I have performed in Italy and abroad, in prestigious venues such as the Wiener Saal in Salzburg, the Petruzzelli Theatre in Bari, the Ducal Palace in Martina Franca, the Coimbra Auditorium, the Giordano Theatre in Foggia and the Bishop’s College Auditorium in Colombo (Sri Lanka). Among my most formative experiences are my orchestral collaborations: I have performed concertos by Beethoven and Schumann with the Orchestra del Conservatorio Nino Rota, the Orchestra Filarmonica Pugliese, the Orchestra della Magna Grecia and the Orchestra Sinfonica di Lecce e del Salento, with conductors such as Giovanni Minafra, Maurizio Lomartire and Piotr Jaworski. I have also collaborated with the Petruzzelli Theatre Orchestra and the Festival della Valle d’Itria (2016-2017). In the chamber music field, I play regularly in a duo with violinist Cristina Ciura and have received awards in national and international competitions. I continue to experience music as a human and authentic language, capable of creating deep connections and shared beauty. The stage remains the place where I can best express my artistic truth, with respect for the repertoire and the audience.
