Two pianists from different generations and backgrounds \u2013 Luigi Carroccia, performing the Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11, and Francesca Antonucci, performing the Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21 \u2013 will bring these masterpieces of the Romantic repertoire to life. They will be joined by the Quartetto Dor\u00e9 and double bassist Edoardo Dolci, in a collaboration made possible thanks to the support of the prestigious Walter Stauffer Academy in Cremona, a world-renowned institution for advanced string instrument training.

His performances have also been broadcast several times on Rai Radio3. His artistic training, which began with accordion studies as a child, was completed at the Monteverdi Conservatory in Bolzano and later, thanks to a two-year scholarship, at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

He graduated with honors and special mention from the Conservatory of Mantua under the guidance of Professor Daniela Georgieva. He continued his training at leading Italian academies such as Pederzani, Chigiana, and Stauffer, earning the prestigious Stauffer Performance Diploma with Alberto Bocini. He has participated in masterclasses with renowned teachers and collaborates with major orchestras, including the Cherubini directed by Riccardo Muti.

Accardo, who still leads the Violin Masterclass, immediately involved some of the most prominent figures in Italian music: Bruno Giuranna (Viola and Chamber Music), Rocco Filippini (Cello), and Franco Petracchi (Double Bass). The courses quickly became a benchmark for top talents, offering a path of high-level training and access to the professional music world. In 2010, the Academy launched its String Quartetcourse, entrusted to the Quartetto di Cremona. Antonio Meneses led the Cello course from 2015 to 2024, after which the position was taken over by Frans Helmerson; in the same year, Alberto Bocini joined as Double Bass professor. The Academy continuously expands its educational offerings, introducing new classes, courses, masterclasses, and interdisciplinary programs. Among them stands out the Concertmaster Course, taught by leading concertmasters and renowned conductors. Over forty years, Stauffer has trained numerous soloists, winners of international competitions, principal players, and acclaimed chamber music groups. Since its foundation, the Academy has offered tuition-free programs and hosts its students in Palazzo Stauffer\u2014a fully renovated venue dedicated to their artistic development.        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52536,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"tags":[],"event_type":[268],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-52539","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_location-zelioli-lanzini-room","event_organizer-fazioli-pianoforti-en","event_organizer-fondazione-stauffer-en","event_type-piano-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/52539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ajde_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52539"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/52539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53764,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/52539\/revisions\/53764"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52539"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=52539"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_2","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_2?post=52539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
