Virginia Rossetti

Virginia Rossetti began her piano studies with Massimiliano Ferrati, later attending the ‘Antonio Buzzolla’ Conservatory in Adria, her hometown, where she graduated with honours. She continued at the Hochschule für Musik in Basel with Filippo Gamba, and at the Royal Flemish Conservatoire in Brussels with Aleksandar Madzar. She was also awarded a Master in Pedagogy at the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana in the class of Anna Kravtchenko.

Since 2000 she has been a winner in numerous national and international competitions, including bronze at the 2009 Premio Venezia and a special recognition at the Marizza in Trieste ‘for her depth of thought, supported by skilful expression and sound research’. She has performed at the Gran Teatro La Fenice in Venice, the Teatro Foce in Lugano, the Volkshaus in Zurich, the Rondo Saal in Pontresina, the Sala Tartini in Trieste and for the Portogruaro International Music Festival. She has recorded live for Rai Radio 3, taking part in I concerti del Quirinale from the Cappella Paolina.

Rossetti is a piano teacher at the Music Conservatories of ‘Agostino Steffani’ in Castelfranco Veneto, and ‘Franco Vittadini’ in Pavia, and is the curator of the Into the Music project, with concert lessons and podcasts for secondary schools, fulfilling her passion for bringing classical music to younger generations.
