Gabriele Strata - NOSPR

Silver Medal, Audience Prize and Chamber Music Prize at the Concours Musical International de Montréal 2024, Gabriele Strata is recognised by critics as “a talent of extraordinary sensitivity and flawless technique” (Il Sole 24 Ore).

Already winner of the First Prize and the Audience Prize at the Rio de Janeiro International Piano Competition in 2023 and of the XXXV Premio Venezia, in 2021 he was awarded the historic “Una vita nella musica – giovani” prize by Teatro La Fenice for his artistic merits.

He is regularly invited to perform in major Italian and international concert series, appearing at Sala Verdi in Milan (Società del Quartetto), the Berliner Philharmonie with the Sinfonie Orchester Berlin, Wigmore Hall, Barbican Centre and Cadogan Hall in London, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Maison Symphonique in Montréal with the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, St David’s Hall in Cardiff with the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Mumbai with the Symphony Orchestra of India. He has collaborated with conductors such as Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli, Xian Zhang, Roberto Tibiriçá, Baldur Brönnimann, Michael Bell and Hans Richter.

With a repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary music, his recent debut at Wigmore Hall was described by critics as “a recital of perfect creativity, securing his place at just 23 years old in the uncompromising world of major concert halls” (Crepuscular Musings).

The 2024–2025 season includes recital tours in China, Brazil, Japan and Italy, as well as chamber music debuts at the Konzerthaus Berlin and Laeiszhalle Hamburg. His performances are frequently broadcast on Rai Radio 3 and Sky Classica HD. Trained in the pianistic traditions of Boris Berman and Benedetto Lupo, at the age of 19 he earned both a Master of Music and a Master of Musical Arts from the prestigious Yale University. In 2023 he completed the Artist Diploma at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London and obtained his diploma from the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome with highest honours, distinction and a special mention previously awarded to only one other pianist in the history of the Academy.
