Isole Sonore between jazz and classical music: two possible and exciting forms of contemporary piano playing
A new instalment of Isole Sonore, the music festival created by Bocconi in collaboration with Yamaha Music Europe, will take place on Thursday, March 5 at 9pm.
Performing on stage in the Aula Magna in Via Roentgen 1 will be Massimo Carrieri and Alessandro Sgobbio, two composer-performers who move freely between jazz and classical sounds, offering their unique perspectives on the boundless potential of the piano.
The theme of the evening “Piano Today” will showcase two compelling forms of contemporary piano playing
Special guest, Alberto Pizzo presents "Skylight", his latest piano album recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios. A special surprise for the Isole Sonore audience on this evening dedicated to contemporary piano music.
Massimo Carrieri is a pianist, organist, and composer with both classical and jazz training. This eclectic background has led him to experiences and collaborations in a wide variety of contexts: from theatre to pop, from musicals to television. His music merges structure and improvisation, past and present, with a Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic not confined to a single genre. In a Baroque Mood is his most recent album, blending early music with contemporary languages.
Alessandro Sgobbio, pianist and producer, pursues a personal creative path characterized by compositions, improvisations, and musical explorations centered on spirituality. Trained at the Parma Conservatory and the Norges Musikkhøgskole in Oslo, he was later selected for the Martial Solal competition in Paris and named Best New Talent by Musica Jazz. In France, he creates and produces new projects, collaborating with many musicians of the European jazz scene.
