Gianluca Blasio
Biography
Gianluca Blasio is a pianist and musicologist with a distinctive profile that blends performance and artistic research.
He graduated with honors from the “San Pietro a Majella” Conservatory in Napoli, and later he earned a Chamber Music diploma at the International Academy “Incontri con il Maestro” in Imola. He also holds degrees in Cultural Heritage and Musicology.
Described as a musician of «vivid imagination and strong technical command», Blasio performs regularly across Italy (Torino, Milano, Ravenna, Bologna, Roma, Napoli, Martina Franca) and Europe (Madrid, León, Wien, Berlin).
Also active as a scholar, he carried out an internship in cataloging printed musical scores at the “Vittorio Emanuele III” National Library of Napoli and published booklet notes for CDs (Da Vinci Classics, Stradivarius) and articles for specialized journals («d.a.t.»; «Live. Performing & Arts»).
Always interested in the relationship between musicological investigation and performance, he has held seminars and lecture-concerts on the subject and participated in conferences and lectures – for associations such as Il Saggiatore musicale and Società Italiana di Musicologia among others – at the Conservatories of Napoli, Firenze and Livorno, the Humaniter Foundation of the Società Umanitaria, the Universities “Federico II” in Napoli, Pavia and “Alma Mater Studiorum” in Bologna and the Centro Studi Opera Omnia “Luigi Boccherini” in Lucca.
Former adjunct professor as part of pre-academic courses at the “Vecchi-Tonelli” Conservatory in Modena, he is currently pursuing a PhD in Learning Sciences and Digital Technologies with a focus on piano pedagogy and performance.
