HISTORY’s classical music geniuses will be celebrated when Italian pianist Ida Pelliccioli returns to Lucas Parklands, Montville, for a solo performance on April 19.
Known for her ability to “disappear” on stage, Ms Pelliccioli lets the music speak, bringing the works of both celebrated and lesser-known composers to life with clarity and authenticity.
Ms Pelliccioli recently received standing ovations on her South African tour and will perform in Germany, Thailand, and Singapore before returning to Montville for her third concert at Lucas Parklands. “My main interest as a musician is to be faithful to the score,” she said.
“The achievement is to dissolve on stage, making one with the sound and the instrument, so the composer’s intent can be revealed.”
Her “Introspection” repertoire features personal and lesser-performed works by Jean Sibelius, Gabriel Fauré, Ferruccio Busoni, Ottorino Respighi, and Leoš Janáček.
Ms Pelliccioli carefully researches each programme, connecting pieces with a thread that guides listeners through the musical journey, and aims to introduce audiences to forgotten or unknown works.
Tickets are available through Lucas Parklands, with the concert starting at 3pm.
Ms Pelliccioli’s performance promises to bridge history and discovery, offering classical music enthusiasts an intimate encounter with the piano repertoire’s hidden gems.
