Lorenzo Meo presents a chamber music-inspired interpretation of selected works from the Romantic piano repertoire. The leitmotif of the program is storytelling, entrusted entirely to the sounds of the piano. The result is a “wordless” narrative, inspired by a poetic world full of different and contrasting moods, as in the pieces by Schubert and Chopin, or explicitly programmatic and based on a literary text, as in the works by Schumann and Liszt.

Italian pianist and composer Lorenzo Meo combines the great tradition with contemporary forms of expression. Appreciated for the intensity and clarity of his pianistic expression, he is distinguished by a personal synthesis in which formal complexity and immediacy of expression come together. His repertoire ranges from Baroque and Classical to New Music, with a special focus on rarely performed works and contemporary music.
