Biographie Moira Lo Bianco
Moira Lo Bianco
studied classical piano performance at F. Torrefranca Conservatory in Vibo Valentia, Italy and completed her Bachelor of Arts with an ethnomusicology thesis on Calabrian folk music and its traditions. She undertook graduate studies at The University of Tor Vergata and, under the tutelage of Oscar award-winning composer Luis Bacalov, studied film scoring at Siena's Accademia Chigiana. Looking to develop her ability as a pianist, composer and arranger, Moira received a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors in 2012.
Recently, Moira has enjoyed collaborations with Simon Shaheen, Kinan Azmeh, Marco Pignataro, Arooj Aftab and, in partnership with M. Steinert & Sons; New England’s Steinway dealer, started a workshop series called Improvisation for Classical Pianists. The series combines her vision to bring classical music to unconventional venues and help the next generation of listeners understand and appreciate its influence on the music that came afterward. Her music presents listeners with a breadth of musical concepts, artistic vision and world philosophies.
