Springtime at Bocconi, on the Piano

, by Susanna Della Vedova, translated by Richard Greenslade
Emanuele Delucchi opens the season, on Thursday 31 March at 9pm, with a concert at the piano with music by Beethoven, Busoni, Messiaen, Chopin and Godowsky


The first spring concert at Bocconi features Emanuele Delucchi, a maestro defined variously by critics as a fearless virtuoso (Klauss Ross), a pianist with remarkable interpretative and excellent technical ability (Eleonora Brezovečki), one of the most versatile and eclectic virtuosi that Genoa has produced in recent years (Giorgio De Martino) - a true lion of the keyboard, a discovery.

The concert will take place Thursday 31 March at 9pm in the Aula Magna at Via Gobbi, 5 and is organized by the Student Affairs Division's ISU Bocconi in collaboration with Furcht Pianos and the Davide Cabassi Piano School in collaboration with "La Primavera di Baggio".

The program includes Ludwig van Beethoven's 6 Bagatelle op. 126; Ferruccio Busoni's Elegies 4 (Turandot Frauengemach); Olivier Messiaen's Regard de l'Esprit de Joie; Fryderyk Chopin, 4 Mazurkas Op. 24; and Leopold Godowsky's Studien über die Etuden von Frédéric Chopin.

The educational background of the pianist and composer Emanuele Delucchi, born in 1987, was completed in 2009 with the Academic Diploma level II earned at the Conservatory "N. Paganini "with 110 and Honors and in 2011 with the three-year degree from the Academy" Incontri col Maestro "in Imola. He studied with Canzio Bucciarelli, Riccardo Risaliti and refined his training with David Cabassi at the "C. Monteverdi" conservatory in Bolzano. In 2008 he won the Prix Marizza in Trieste, and in April 2012 he won the gold medal at the first Alkan-Zimmerman International Piano Competition in Athens. Since 2012 he has taught at the Accademia Rocca in Chiavari and since 2015 at the Cluster music school of Milan.
