Pianist Ida Pelliccioli to perform in Cowichan Valley

Italo-Croatian pianist Ida Pelliccioli will perform her program, ‘Introspections’, at Mill Bay’s Sylvan United Church on November 8. The event is presented by Cowichan Classical Concerts and marks Pelliccioli’s first performance in the Cowichan Valley.

Pelliccioli, who teaches at the Paris Regional Conservatory, holds a degree in piano and double Masters degrees in Italian Literature and Ancient Greek History from Sorbonne University. Her musical background is influenced by her multicultural upbringing and her father, a surrealist painter. She describes the piano as an ‘instrument-orchestra’ and aims to share the beauty of classical repertoire with new audiences.
