CREATIVE CUTS - Italian pianist Ida Pelliccioli

Fresh from a tour of sold-out performances in South Africa, brilliant Italian concert pianist Ida Pelliccioli will perform rare and ‘wrongly forgotten’ masterpieces at Lucas Parklands in Montville this April.

From her home in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower, in Paris, Ms Pelliccioli will make her third trip to Montville, to perform her ‘Introspections’ program – a repertoire focussing on very personal pieces with intent to create impact through a straightforward approach rather than grandiose gestures.

“I am very excited to bring pieces that are not so much performed, because usually these are my own discoveries … I think it is my mission to bring back to the stage some wrongly forgotten masterpieces,” Ms Pelliccioli says of her only Australian performance.

Ms Pelliccioli will tour Germany, Thailand and Singapore before enthralling local audiences in the intimate settings of Lucas Parklands, on Sunday April 19, at 3pm.
