Micol Pisanu

Micol Pisanu
Born in Nuoro in 1995, Micol Pisanu grew up immersed in music, guided from an early age by her parents, both opera singers and choir directors.

The violin was her first study companion, an instrument she cultivated at the "P.G. da Palestrina" Conservatory in Cagliari and later at the "G. Verdi" Conservatory in Milan, also focusing on Baroque repertoire. At the same time, she discovered her operatic voice and began studying Renaissance and Baroque singing, culminating in two degrees with honors and, in 2024, the Diploma di Alto Perfezionamento in Canto at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, under the guidance of Sara Mingardo, with top honors.
A multifaceted artist, Micol is a soprano, violinist, composer, and choir director. She has distinguished herself in prestigious national and international competitions, winning the Premio delle Arti (Early Music), second prize at the Caffarelli and Po Peppino Mereu competitions, as well as special awards for performance in German. Her career has taken her to the stages of festivals and theaters in Italy and abroad, from Paris to San Marino, with tours throughout Europe and repertoire ranging from J.S. Bach to Handel, from Vivaldi to Mozart.
She collaborates regularly with various musical ensembles: the 415hz (soprano, string quartet and harpsichord), the Capriccio Consort (soprano, two oboes, cello and organ), and the Duo CorBarocco (soprano and theorbo), with whom she explores and performs chamber and sacred repertoire from various eras.
Alongside her concert career, Micol is passionate about choral conducting, founding the Ensemble Vocale 415hz and leading polyphonic, youth, and children's choirs. She also teaches opera singing and violin at music schools in the Milan area, where she instills in young people the same dedication that inspired her own career.
As a composer and music researcher, she publishes transcriptions by Benedetto Marcello and Francesca Caccini for Federcori, records music for Alberto Odone's Ear Training Corso Base, and writes original pieces such as Ave Maria for female choir and S'Innu for choir and piano. Her intense and multifaceted work is guided by a common thread: the pursuit of authentic expression, capable of combining technical rigor and emotional depth.
