Annarosa Partipilo

Annarosa Partipilo, born in Bari on 1996, is a musician with a solid academic background and a finely developed artistic sensibility.

She graduated with honours in Piano, Organ and Harpsichord at the “Niccolò Piccinni” Conservatory in Bari, studying respectively with C. Masotti, E. Filacaro and D. Pozzi. She is currently pursuing advanced studies under the guidance of Pierluigi Camicia.
Alongside her musical training, she successfully completed a degree in Literature, Music and Performing Arts at the University of Novedrate, thereby enriching her artistic outlook through an interdisciplinary perspective.
She has attended masterclasses with internationally renowned musicians, receiving widespread acclaim and recognition. The pianist Ivelina Ivancheva has described her as “a person with great respect for the art she carries within herself”. She is the recipient of numerous prizes in national and international piano competitions.
She performs regularly both in Italy and abroad (France, England, Croatia, Spain, Austria and the United States), and has made her debut in prestigious concert halls, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London and the Mozarteum in Salzburg.
A devoted chamber musician, she has collaborated with internationally acclaimed artists such as Andrea Tofanelli, Lito Fontana, the Quartetto Ambra (formed by members of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan) and Claudia Lucia Lamanna, a harpist recognised as one of the world’s leading interpreters of her instrument.
She has appeared on numerous radio and television programmes, distinguished by the refinement of her style and the depth of her expressive approach.
As a composer, she is the author of the pan-Hellenic fairy tale for soprano, baritone, choir and orchestra Come un albero di alloro, which received its premiere at the Teatro Pietro Marko in Vlora, Albania. She has also undertaken the proofreading for the publication of the first complete edition of Franz Liszt’s Second Ballade, edited by Mario Angiolelli (Florestano Edizioni).
She has recently curated a scholarly essay on the composer Luise Adolpha Le Beau and published her piano transcriptions of Widor’s Symphony No. 6 and Bach’s Pedal Exercises BWV 598 (Oceano Edizioni).
In 2024, her CD devoted to the composer Sandro Fuga (1906–1994), featuring previously unrecorded repertoire, was released by the British label Sheva Collection. In 2025, she releases with Tactus a CD dedicated to the Six Sonatas Op. 2 by Anna Bon, recorded for the first time in history on the fortepiano.
She is the artistic director of the “Ezio Bosso” Piano Competition and of the cultural association Nessun Dorma, both dedicated to the promotion of young talents and the dissemination of musical culture. On 8 October 2023, she gave the world premiere of Nino Rota’s Requiem for organ and double choir, a landmark event in the rediscovery of twentieth-century Italian repertoire. The performance was repeated as a US premiere at New York Cathedral in January 2025, under the direction of Jonathan Hirsh.
