SUMMARY:Piano Recital with Christian Pastorino
DESCRIPTION:Hoff-Barthelson Music School presents award-winning Italian pianist Christian Pastorino in recital\, performing a program of works by Chopin\, Schumann\, Scriabin\, and Liszt. The evening will showcase Pastorino’s artistry across some of the piano repertoire’s most expressive and virtuosic works. \n\nProgram (subject to change) \nFryderyk Chopin – Scherzo in B-flat minor\, Op. 31 \nRobert Schumann – Fantasiestücke\, Op. 12 \nDes Abends\nAufschwung\nWarum?\nGrillen\nIn der Nacht\nFabel \nTraumes Wirren\nEnde vom Lied \nINTERMISSION \nAlexander Scriabin\nValse in A-flat major\, Op. 38\nDeux Poèmes\, Op. 32 \nAndante cantabile\nAllegro con eleganza\, con fiducia \nFranz Liszt – Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12 in C-sharp minor \n\nPraised for his poetic lyricism\, structural clarity\, and expressive depth\, Italian pianist Christian Pastorino is the First Prize winner of the 25th Franz Schubert International Competition (2025). The distinction marks a major milestone in his emerging international career and precedes his U.S. debut recitals in fall 2026. \nA laureate of the 2024 Paul Badura-Skoda Competition in Vienna and recipient of prizes at other international competitions\, Pastorino has established himself as a versatile pianist with a repertoire spanning the Classical and High Romantic traditions through the vivid musical languages of the early twentieth century. His repertoire ranges from Mozart and Beethoven to Ravel and Prokofiev\, reflecting both his affinity for the great Classical tradition and his interest in the diverse expressive worlds of later repertoire. \nPastorino has performed extensively as a soloist and chamber musician\, appearing in duo partnerships with violin and cello\, in piano trios\, and with larger ensembles. His engagements have taken him to leading Italian venues and festivals\, including Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa\, the Vatican Museums in Rome\, and the Ravenna Festival. His orchestral and chamber appearances include Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20\, K. 466\, with the Genoa Conservatory Orchestra under Antonio Tappero Merlo\, as well as Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in Vinzenz Lachner’s arrangement for piano and string quintet at the Teatro Sociale in Camogli. \nA frequent guest of the Giovine Orchestra Genovese\, Pastorino has also appeared at numerous festivals throughout Italy. His musical activities extend beyond the concert stage: he has recorded film soundtracks for Italy’s National Film School (Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia) in Rome. \nPastorino earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees with highest honors (summa cum laude) from the “N. Paganini” Conservatory in Genoa. He subsequently completed a two-year advanced artist diploma at the Accademia di Musica di Pinerolo\, where he studied with Roberto Plano. He has also participated in masterclasses with distinguished pianists Andrea Lucchesini\, Riccardo Risaliti\, and Benedetto Lupo. \nHis 2026 U.S. debut marks the next chapter in a career distinguished by musical sensitivity\, intellectual depth\, and a distinctive commitment to the piano repertoire. \n  \nAdditional information coming soon.
