Hosted by the Italian Institute of Culture, Ida Pelliccioli, pianist extraordinaire, is back to wow Australia with her new tour that explores the musical landscape from the Baroque to Early Romanticism, revealing hidden gems alongside celebrated masterpieces.
With a refined repertoire and exceptional musical sensitivity, Ida took us on a sonic journey from Southern Europe to the heart of Vienna – from Scarlatti to Schubert, with stops along the way for Mozart and the rarely performed, yet captivating Blasco de Nebra. It’s a classy musical narrative shaped by depth, elegance and rediscovery, blending overlooked composers with the greats of classical tradition.
Ida is a native of Bergamo, Italy and studied at the Nice Conservatoire de Region and at Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris. During her studies she was awarded several scholarships, receiving guidance from Norma Fisher and Stephen Gutman and she is one of the rare pianists to have received guidance from the Cuban pianist Jorge Luis Prats.
Her gift is sublime as she took us on her odyssey from Spanish keyboard music to the Viennese classic style through to the composer Manuel Blasco de Nebra, the inspiration behind this program. Experiencing her expressive and refined style, has made her a compelling pianist pursuing exceptionalism in Chamber music and piano repertoire . She has performed on all continents including appearances at the National Gallery in London, the Royal Theatre and Concert Hall in Nottingham and the Lyceum Club in Firenze in collaboration with Amici della Musica di Firenze.
After the performance, she confided that she is pursuing a sommelier certification in order to develop a project that pairs wines with the musical repertoire she performs. Magic certainly was in the air.
