Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Mumbai, in collaboration with the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), Prithvi Theatre and the Poona Music Society, presents three special evenings of music on 10, 12 & 14 November, featuring one of Italy’s brightest emerging young pianists, Isa Trotta.
In the 10 & 12 November concerts in Mumbai, Isa Trotta performs Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the SOI Chamber Orchestra. The evenings also feature SOI cellist Sherali Mukhanbetkali in Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1, alongside a rich selection of orchestral works offering an elegant journey through the classical repertoire.
Isa Trotta
At just twenty-two, the Milan-born pianist is already regarded as one of Italy’s most promising young artists. A graduate of the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, where she studied under Lilya Zilberstein and Andrea Lucchesini, she has performed with the Milano Classica Orchestra and the S. Moniuszko Philharmonic and appeared at leading festivals including Piano City Milano and Rome’s Orto Botanico. Winner of several international awards, Trotta is appreciated for her technical brilliance and deeply expressive interpretations.
