Biography

One artist, four continents

Portrait of Pasquale Iannone at the piano, in tails
«Today Pasquale Iannone ranks among those pianists who “know” not only how to play and interpret, but also how to master the most demanding pages of the virtuoso repertoire.» — Aldo Ciccolini

His career has taken him to the world's leading concert halls across four continents — from Carnegie Hall in New York to the Sala Verdi in Milan, from the Kumho Recital Hall in Seoul to the Herkulessaal in Munich, from the Salle Cortot in Paris to the Concertgebouw — performing in recital and as a soloist with orchestra in Italy, the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Romania, Turkey, South Korea, South Africa, Venezuela, Mexico, England and Scotland. He has appeared with orchestras such as the Utah Symphony Orchestra, the New England Symphonic Ensemble, the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, the Wiener Kammersymphonie, the Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de México and the "A. Scarlatti" Orchestra of Naples, under such conductors as Gianandrea Noseda, Jorge Mester, Ola Rudner, Ivan Meylemans, Franco Caracciolo and Flavio Emilio Scogna.
