Debussy and His Influences
Ida Pelliccioli - Piano
Sunday November 3rd, 4pm
"Iron hands, but with velvet elegance: Ida Pelliccioli’s technical abilities make us forget about the pieces complexity, for the greatest delight of the audience."
Fabrice Fenoy – Artistic Director “Un piano sous les arbres”
We welcome pianist Ida Pelliccioli to the Acton Hill Church in a thoughtful programme designed to reveal echoes between the music of Debussy and the music of two composers that influenced him. On one hand, Rameau, which Debussy described as the pinnacle of the French tradition. On the other hand, Albeniz, as an example of how Debussy found an important source of inspiration in reimagining the music of foreign lands. Spanish idioms inspired some of his most animated music.
Three of the pieces chosen are also linked by the same element of inspiration: "La Vega" was also named "Alhambra Suite", "La Puerta del Vino" refers to the gate of the same Palace in Granada, and finally "Soirée à Grenade" uses the Arabic scale and mimics guitar strumming to evoke images of this same land and heritage.
Ida Pelliccioli is an italo-croatian pianist who grew up in France. Her multicultural background often shows in her choice of repertoire, as well as her interest in contemporary music and her interest in collaborating with young composers. The programmes that she will present in her 2019-2020 season are built around these lines as well as the will to bring to the audience some less played and forgotten pieces.

Ida chose to avoid the international competition circuit and, before becoming a full-time pianist, received a double master diploma at the Sorbonne University - in Italian Literature and in Ancient Greek History, specializing for the latter in the practice of music during the Hellenistic period. Ida has been performing troughout Europe. She has made her debut in Norway, Cyprus, Portugal, Spain and Canada in 2019 and will debut in the US and Estonia in 2020.
In February 2018, she gave a solo recital in Milan under the patronage of Yamaha Italy. She has been invited in several festivals, among others, “Un piano sous les arbres” at Lunel-Viel, and “Fêtes Musicales de Pionsat”, where she was invited by the pianist Racha Arodaky. Ida shows a great interest in contemporary music and she will be premiering works from the following composers in 2019 – Raffaele Bellafronte and Jean-Luc Gillet.
Ida has always been opened to other forms of art and collaborations. In 2015 and 2016, she collaborated in Paris with Florian Pautasso, a young stage director, during the creation of his play "Notre foyer”. She also appeared on screen, playing the role of a pianist, for the american TV Series “Find me in Paris” – Season 1 and 2 (2017/2018) and the french one “Munch” (2018). In 2019, she has been cast to double the role of the pianist in the short movie "Quand on ne sait pas voler” directed by Thomas Keumurian and produced by FILMO.
