Matteo Napoli - piano:
Matteo Napoli is an honours graduate of the Girordano Conservatoire in Foggia, Italy. He has studied with a galaxy of world-renowned teachers such as Aldo Ciccolini, Nikita Magalov, Alfredo Speranza and Yvonne Lefebuerre. Early in his career he captured worldwide attention with first and second places in many competitions including first place in the International Liszt Competition in 1986 in Lucca, Italy. Since then his career as a pianist has spanned many countries, as both performer and teacher. Over the last 20 years Matteo has appeared throughout Italy, Europe, (Paris, London, Lausanne, Brasov, Munich, Nicosia, Larnaca), America (New York, Mexico City, San Paolo), Japan, Australia, and New Zealand in collaboration with orchestras and as a recitalist.

While maintaining a busy international performance schedule Matteo teaches at the Salerno Conservatoire and is the founder and director of the Mozarteum International Academy of Music in Salerno. He is frequently called upon to sit on juries for national and international competitions and he has also found time to carry out extensive research within the fields of performance and teaching methodology. In Auckland in 2003 Matteo gave a breathtaking performance as guest pianist with the Manukau City Symphony Orchestra playing Piano Concerto No. 6 in C by Ferdinand Ries, the first time this music had been performed for 165 years. The first European performance of this concerto was held in Romania, followed by the first Asian performance in April 2004 with the National Symphony Orchestra of Malaysia.
