The concert is moving to a new indoor location this year. Jacopo and Maddalena Giacopuzzi will perform a selection of contemporary and traditional pieces. Expect pieces by composers from Europe and the U.S., including Ravel, Chopin, Brahms, Scriabin, and ending with Gershwin’s famous Rhapsody in Blue.
The Giacopuzzi siblings have performed concerts for CDL audiences both separately and together since 2017. Born in Italy to a family of pianists, both took an interest in music from an early age; when Jacopo became serious about the piano, younger sibling Maddalena was soon to follow. While their style and application are different, their continued love of music and astonishing talent are shared. Both Jacopo and Maddalena Giacoppuzi gained recognition in several national and international competitions and have performed as soloists and chamber musicians in multiple major international music festivals.
