Calpe welcomes acclaimed Italian pianist for special autumn music festival recital

Calpe residents and visitors can look forward to an evening of classical music this November as the International Autumn Music Festival continues with a special piano recital. The performance, part of the 15th edition of the festival, features internationally recognized Italian pianist Sebastiano Brusco. Born in Rome, Brusco's passion for the piano began at an early age, leading him to study at the Conservatory of F. Morlacchi in Perugia under renowned pianist Valentino Di Bella.

He further honed his skills through lessons with esteemed musicians such as Aldo Ciccolini, Ennio Pastorino, and Katia Labèque. Brusco's musical journey has taken him beyond Italy, with performances in the United States, Canada, Mexico, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain. He has also shared the stage with prestigious orchestras like I Solisti Veneti and the Orchestra Verdi of Milan.

In addition to his concert work, Brusco is a composer and has explored projects beyond traditional classical performance, with a particular focus on works by Franz Schubert and Frédéric Chopin. The recital will take place on November 12 at 8pm at the Saló Blau, located within Calpe's Casa de Cultura Jaume Pastor i Fluixà. With a capacity of just 126 people, early booking is encouraged, and tickets are available for €15.

This intimate concert offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the work of a celebrated pianist in an intimate setting, making it an appealing event for both classical music enthusiasts and those looking to discover something new on the Costa Blanca.
