To be announced
Enrico Pace is one of the leading figures of the contemporary Italian piano tradition. His musical approach, grounded in structural rigour and deep listening, is expressed through a pianism that is understated yet eloquent. A sought-after chamber music partner, he has established long-standing collaborations with artists such as Leonidas Kavakos and Frank Peter Zimmermann. His repertoire spans Schubert, Beethoven and the European twentieth century, always shaped by clarity and poetic insight.
The course – divided into two separate sessions – is an integral part of the Advanced Programme in Chamber Music, but it is also open to piano chamber ensembles enrolled in other courses at the Stauffer Academy, as well as to external groups.
