Giulia Contaldo is an Italian/American Virtuoso Pianist who is supported by the Keyboard Trust.

She came to international attention when she stood in at the last minute to play Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, broadcasted live by BBC Radio 3. She has received several international prizes.

A concert by a performer of this calibre is not to be missed.

Giulia believes that myths provide stories that hold significance across different cultures and generations. Her programme modernises ancient tales through music, exploring their emotional depth.

The programme mainly features selections from her debut CD “METOPES’ released by Da Vinci Publishing this year.
