Luca Trabucco Piano   

Luca Trabucco was born in Salerno in 1970 and began his musical studies at Genoa's Nicolò Paganini Conservatorium, studying piano with Claudio Proietti and composition with Adelchi Amisano. He subsequently attended the "Incontri col Maestro" Piano Academy at Imola (Italy), studying first with Lazar Berman, Alexander Lonquich, and Riccardo Risaliti, and later with Boris Petrushansky and Piero Rattalino.

Trabucco was a Prizewinner at the Premio Venezia Competition (1993) and the Premio Città di Treviso (Italy, 1995). In 2000, he was awarded First Prize at the Premio Città di Pavia (Italy) International Competition.

Luca Trabucco has performed throughout Italy and Europe in collaboration with such organizations and ensembles as: Teatro Carlo Felice (Genoa), Lyceum (Florence), Teatro Comunale (Treviso), Asolo Musica (Italy), Kawai Concerts at Bocconi University (Milan), Società Piccinni (Bari), Accademia Filarmonica (Messina), Università Normale (Pisa), Orchestra Filarmonia Veneta (Venice), Ente Arena Sferisterio (Macerata), Meranofest and Teatro La Fenice (Venice), Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana, CIEMM (Paris), Polimusica (Madrid), and the Tyroler Festspiele (Austria). He has performed under the batons of Enrique Mazzola, Donato Renzetti, and other prominent conductors.

In addition to a repertoire that spans virtually all facets of the literature, Trabucco has, in recent years, become committed to performing the entire piano works of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, as well as examining French piano music of the 20th Century in general. Last year, he recorded a CD Phoenix Classic featuring works by Ravel, Debussy and Messiaen.

Luca Trabucco is also a composer, and in 1991 he was awarded the "Czerny Prize" for Italian composers. His music is published by Edi-Pan in Rome.
