Giuseppe Andaloro

Giuseppe Andaloro’s career is constantly growing and his commitments increase day by day. He willingly returns to our city however, for which he has a deep fondness. It was here in fact that at the age of eight he won his very first important event at the “City of Messina” Piano Competition, followed by other increasingly important successes such as winning First Prize at the international “Sendai” and “Casella” competitions in 2001, the World Piano Competition in London in 2002, and the “Busoni” in 2005. The Laudamo Philharmonic Orchestra invited him before he won this last competition, the most sought-after and feared by young pianists, and last season hosted his debut as a chamber music performer in a duo with Sergej Krylov. He returns this year with one of his typical composite and difficult programmes, including music by Beethoven, Schubert, Debussy, and Liszt, only a week before performing at the Salzburg Mozarteum. In 2005 Giuseppe Andaloro, who records for the Naxos label, won a Prize for Artistic Merit from the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities.
