Miami International Piano Festival presents Luigi Carroccia

LUIGI CARROCCIA (Italy)

“Italian pianist turns melody into magic at Cliburn, Carroccia is an aristocrat of the piano; there doesn’t seem to be a nonmusical atom in his being.”  — OLIN CHISM – Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Luigi Carroccia was born into a musical family and his first piano teachers were his father and grandfather. His studies continued at the Claudio Monteverdi Conservatory in Bolzano, where he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees with honors. Luigi has won prizes in many competitions, such as the Maria Herrero International
Competition in Granada and the Premio Abbado, organized by the Italian Ministry of Culture in memory of Claudio Abbado.
