The Monferrato Classical Festival concerts continue in the Santa Chiara Hall in via Facino Cane in Casale Monferrato, highlighting the event’s young talents. Pianist Sabrina Lanzi is the artistic director.
The second appointment will take place on Sunday 17 November at 5pm, with the young and talented pianist Morgan Branzaglia.
At just 15 years old, born in 2009, Morgan Branzaglia has already shown exceptional talent by winning many national and international competitions.
Despite his young age, Morgan has already performed many times in Italian auditoriums and theaters, where he has won over the public and the critics thanks to his strong talent and great character interpretation.
Morgan Bragaglia, originally from Lomello, in Lomellina, is a student of the Classical Academy of Monferrato, an institution dedicated to the growth of young talents by offering them valuable opportunities for artistic growth, where he studies under the guidance of Sabrina Lanzi.
The young performer will perform a varied repertoire that will inspire and engage the audience. His ability to combine solid technical mastery with an emotional and personal approach to music holds promise in the contemporary music landscape.
