Simone Alessandro Tavoni

Simone Alessandro Tavoni est un pianiste italien. Il a d’abord étudié avec Marco Podesta, diplômé du Conservatoire Giacomo Puccini et plus tard au Conservatoire Luigi Cherubini à Florence.

Il a travaillé avec Aldo Ciccolini, Zoltan Kocsis et Malcolm Bilson, mais ce sont ses études avec Kesckes Balazs lors d’un échange étudiant avec l’Académie Franz Liszt qui l’ont formé comme pianiste,. Depuis il s’est installé au Royal College of Music de Londres et travaille avec Dmitri Alexeev et Neil Immelman. Ces noms donnent une idée de l’itinéraire passionnant et original de la formation que Simone a suivi. Il a donné des récitals à Aarhus, Copenhague, Almeria, Parme et Vérone, ainsi que dans beaucoup d’autres villes. Comme beaucoup de jeunes artistes, il s’est basé à Londres. « Là, je suis entouré par des musiciens exceptionnels qui viennent du monde entier et avec qui je peux apprendre et discuter de musique », dit-il. Il a joué au Victoria & Albert Museum et l’église St James à Piccadilly ainsi que dans différentes salles à Oxford, Cambridge et Bristol.

Sélectionné en 2O19 par The Keyboard Charitable Trust parmi les jeunes pianistes les plus prestigieux, Simone Alessandro Tavoni viendra jouer pour le concert d’ouverture du festival un programme composé de Pizzetti et Poulenc.

THE KEYBOARD CHARITABLE TRUST

The Keyboard Charitable Trust’s mission is to help young keyboard players reduce the element of chance in building a professional musical career. The Trust identifies the most talented young performers (aged 18-30) and assists their development by offering them opportunities to perform throughout the world. For the most gifted, this means débuts in London, New York, Mexico, Berlin, Rome and other music capitals.

In collaboration with its partners worldwide, the Keyboard Trust has developed a circuit of some fifty venues in seven principal countries, from the most prestigious concert halls to locations where classical music is rarely heard. Over the past thirty years, the Trust has presented some 250 young international pianists, historic keyboard players and organists (aged 18-30) in over 900 concerts worldwide.

With such notable musicians as the late Claudio Abbado, Alfred Brendel and Evgeny Kissin among its trustees, this formula has proved its worth: many Trust artists receive an offer of a new engagement, a broadcast, a recording or management. Nearly half of the artists have subsequently made serious professional musical careers.

Recent years have seen a further expansion of the Trust’s work in Germany, Italy and Russia as well as in the USA where the distinguished conductor, the late Lorin Maazel, invited the Trust to present its artists at his Festival Theatre in Virginia. In the UK, we have an ongoing collaboration with Manchester Camerata which provides concert performances in major Manchester venues each year.

Recent highlights include Alexander Gadjiev being made a ‘BBC New Generation Artist’ for 2019-2021 and winning the Sydney International Piano Competition 2021; Edward Leung being awarded the Philharmonia Orchestra’s 2021–2022 MMSF Piano Fellowship; and Thomas Kelly being selected as a finalist in the 2021 Leeds Piano Competition.

The Keyboard Charitable Trust is funded entirely by voluntary donations. Detailed information about the Trust, how to become a Friend, join the One Thousand Club or to provide corporate support, may be found on our website.
