Ida Pelliccioli (piano)
It is exciting to introduce such an interesting and impressive young pianist as Ida Pelliccioli. Of Italo-Croatian heritage, she is based in France and holds degrees from the Nice Conservatoire and the École Normale de Musique de Paris, as well as a Masters Diploma in Italian Literature and Ancient Greek History from the Sorbonne University.
Ida has chosen to avoid the international competition circuit and has been forging her own performance career, playing throughout Europe, Canada, Australia and South Africa. In 2024 she debuted in Sweden, Lithuania, Austria, Iceland and Australia, and in 2025 she makes her debut in New Zealand and Thailand.
Her multicultural background often shows in her choice of repertoire. She enjoys introducing her audiences to little-known music or collaborating with other musicians and composers. She has even appeared in a movie and an American TV series, where she has taken roles as a pianist. Her programmes are often themed, and for us she will play “Introspections” in which each of the pieces is thoughtful, filled in some way with memory, longing or sorrow.
