Ida Pelliccioli: born in Bergamo, Italy, studied at the Nice Conservatoire de Région and at the École Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot, under the guidance of Serguei Markarov, UNESCO Artist for Peace. She was awarded several prestigious scholarships, including those from the Zygmunt Zaleski Foundation and the Fondation Albert Roussel. She participated in masterclasses with renowned pianists such as Jean-Claude Pennetier and Gérard Wyss, and earned a double diploma in performance and pedagogy from the École Normale. She received artistic guidance from Norma Fisher at the Royal College of Music in London and is among the few pianists to have worked with Cuban virtuoso Jorge Luis Prats. Choosing to avoid the international competition circuit, she pursued academic studies instead, earning two master’s degrees from the Sorbonne – one in Italian Literature and the other in Ancient Greek History, with a focus on music in the Hellenistic period.
Ida has performed across Europe, Canada, Australia, and South Africa, making her debut in 2024 in Sweden, Lithuania, Austria, Iceland, and Australia, with upcoming performances in Singapore and Thailand in 2025. Highlights of her 2024–2025 season include appearances at the National Gallery in London, the Royal Theatre and Concert Hall in Nottingham, and the Lyceum Club in Florence, in collaboration with Amici della Musica di Firenze. She has a strong interest in contemporary music and, in 2023, performed works by Polish composer Elżbieta Sikora live on French radio (France Musique) with soprano Joanna Freszel. Open to cross-disciplinary collaborations, she has appeared as a pianist in TV series such as Find Me in Paris and Munch, and in films including Quand on ne sait pas voler. Since 2021, she has held a teaching position at the Conservatoire of the 8th arrondissement in Paris. Ida is also pursuing a sommelier certification and developing a project that pairs wines with the musical repertoire she performs.
