Marie-Ange Nguci
Recital pianistico
Young French-Albanian pianist Marie-Ange Nguci makes her debut at Festival dei Due Mondi with her first concert in Italy. There is no counting the accomplishments she has achieved to just twenty-three years old: entering to thirteen years old Nicholas Angelich's class at the Paris Conservatory, she completed the higher piano course in three years, adding specializations in Musical Analysis, Musicology, Pedagogy, the study of the cello, organ and the Martenot Wave, adding a Doctorate to New York and a year of conducting at the University of Vienna. His repertoire shows a predilection for those composers who were also great organists and improvisers, such as Johann Jakob Froberger and Camille Saint-Saëns, whose to Spoleto he presents two of the Six Etudes Op. 111 on the centenary of his death.
