Olivia Belli – Piano Concert

Olivia Belli returns to play in her Marche region

The Cine Teatro Sala Europa in Monte San Pietrangeli, a small village in the Province of Fermo in the Marche region, hosts a piano concert by Olivia Belli, a composer and pianist recognized as one of the most prominent voices in the contemporary neoclassical scene. For the audience of the Marche, this is a precious opportunity: to hear an artist who fills auditoriums and festivals across Europe and North America perform in an intimate, familiar setting.

An artist from the Marche with an international career

Olivia Belli lives and composes in the Marche region, in the inland countryside, and draws much of the inspiration for her sound from this region. Her music, rooted in neoclassical and minimalist styles, has been compared to that of composers like Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt, but it also draws from the great piano repertoire of Bach and Chopin. After studying with masters such as Jörg Demus and Alexander Lonquich, she released a series of albums that garnered a vast following: from Where Night Never Comes (2018) to River Path (2020, released with 1631 Recordings and Decca Records and achieving over 30 million streams in just a few months), to Sol Novo, Somnio Novo, and Intermundia. Today, she is signed with Sony Classical.

Her career has opened doors to prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall in London and TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, and she was the first female composer invited by Apple Music to curate a playlist dedicated to piano music.

An intimate concert, a gesture towards her homeland

The event in Monte San Pietrangeli holds special significance: the artist chose to share an intimate concert with the audience of her region, as a preview of a performance in Milan related to Apple Music Classical. It's a way to thank the Marche, the land that is an integral part of her creative journey. The venue is the Cine Teatro Sala Europa, a historic theatre in the town's historic center, managed by the Municipality and long a focal point for the community's cultural life.
