Programme Note
Join us for the next in our series of the Livery Halls Tour with CMF Artist Sofia Sacco in the Great Chamber in the Charterhouse on 27th June, 12:30. This fugue-themed concert features Rameau, Beethoven, and Shostakovich.
Italian pianist Sofia Sacco has performed extensively throughout Europe and Asia. She appeared as soloist in more than 80 recitals in Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, and China with latest appearances at prestigious venues including Teatro la Fenice in Venice, Gohliser Schlösschen in Leipzig, Pushkin House in London, Villa Reale in Monza, Fazioli Concert Hall and Centro Cultural Retiro in Madrid among others. She recently toured China giving recitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Changsha, Changchun, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. Passionate about Baroque and polyphonic music, she will release her first CD featuring Dimitri Shostakovich’s 24 Preludes and Fugues op.87 in 2025.
She has also made appearances with the Pollini Symphony Orchestra, the Audentia Ensemble, Orchestra delle Tre Venezie and the Timía Chamber Orchestra under the batons of G. Medeossi, Ryan Bair, Otis Lineham. Sofia is the recipient of the Francis Simms Prize and first prize winner of the Bach International Music Competition and A. Baldi International Piano Competition.
Sofia began playing the piano at the age of 6 in Padua with A. Silva and M. Ferrati, and moved to the UK in 2019 to study at the Royal Academy of Music as a scholarship student with R. Hayroudinoff. After completing her Master of Arts and Professional Diploma, Sofia was appointed Hodgson Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music for two consecutive years, and has recently been awarded the Aud Jebsen Fellowship for 2024/2025.
Inquisitive and widely curious, she is also a Physics graduate from the University of Padua. Alongside her performing career, Sofia is an enthusiastic teacher, and she currently holds a teaching position at Trinity Music School and Queen’s College in London as well as teaching at the Royal Academy of Music as part of her fellowship.
