Gabriele Carcano

Gabriele Carcano is a promising young musician in the world of Italian concerts. Born in Turin in 1985, he started to study the piano when he was eight years old and in 1999 and was admitted to the Conservatory in his city where he graduated in 2003 magna cum laude. He then perfected his art with Andrea Lucchesini and Aldo Ciccolini, and currently attends the National Superior Conservatory in Paris where classes are held by Nicholas Angelich and Pierre-Laurent Aimard. He has won many national and international piano competitions since he was very young. In November 2004 he was one of the winners of the Premio Venezia, making his debut at La Fenice Theatre. A scholarship holder at the De Sono Association and at the CRT Foundation, Gabriele Carcano today plays in recitals and with chamber music ensembles. He made his debut as a soloist with an orchestra in 2003 with Ravel’s Concert in G, and two years later played Rachmaninov’s Second Concert at the Regio Theatre in Turin achieving great success. His beautiful programme for the Laudamo Philharmonic Orchestra includes music by Liszt, Debussy and Skrjabin.
