Ida Pelliccioli

We are excited to welcome Italo-Croatian concert pianist Ida Pelliccioli, making her Wentworth Villa debut, on tour from her home base in Paris.

Ida Pelliccioli was born in Bergamo, Italy. She studied at the Nice Conservatoire de Région and at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot in the class of Serguei Markarov, Unesco Artist for Peace. During her studies, Ida Pelliccioli was awarded several scholarships, amongst them, one from the Zygmunt Zaleski Foundation and one from Fondation Albert Roussel.

Ida Pelliccioli participated in number of master-classes, among others with Jean-Claude Pennetier, Gerard Wyss and received a double diploma in interpretation and pedagogy, at the École Normale in Paris.

She received artistic guidance from Norma Fisher who teaches at the Royal College of Music in London and she is one of the rare pianists to have received guidance from the cuban concert pianist Jorge Luis Prats.

Ida chose to avoid the international competition circuit and, before becoming a full-time pianist, received a double master diploma at the Sorbonne University – in Italian Literature and in Ancient Greek History, specializing for the latter in the practice of music during the Hellenistic period.

Ida has been performing throughout Europe, Canada, Australia and South Africa. In 2024 she has debuted in Sweden, Lithuania, Austria, Iceland and Australia. She has debuted in Singapore and will also play for the first time in Thailand in 2025. During her 2024-2025 Season, Ida will perform, among other prestigious venues, at the National Gallery in London and the Royal Theater and Concert Hall in Nottingham and the Lyceum Club in Florence in collaboration with Amici della Musica di Firenze.

Ida shows a great interest in contemporary music: in 2023 she has performed music by Polish composer Elżbieta Sikora with soprano Joanna Freszel live on French radio – France Musique – in September 2023.

Ida has always been opened to other forms of art and collaborations. She appeared on screen, playing the role of a pianist, for the american TV Series “Find me in Paris” – Season 1 and 2 (2017/2018) and the french TV Series “Munch” (2018) and “Le diplôme” (2025).
In 2019, she has been casted to double the role of the pianist in the short movie „Quand on ne sait pas voler” directed by Thomas Keumurian and produced by FILMO.

In 2021 Ida also took up a teaching position at Paris Conservatoire du 8ème arrondissement.
