Clara’s Portrait
Show selected for the Dutch Classical Talent 2025/2026 tour, of which Gianmarco is a finalist.
Actress in the visuals: Judith Westbroek
Grief is a kind of loss that silently demands compassion. We offer our help without being asked because we can imagine eventually feeling this same pain ourselves. But when it comes to suicide, everything becomes more complicated: it eludes our understanding, leaving us with questions we often don’t dare to ask, fearing we might be inappropriate. Thus, we risk drifting away.
On March 22, 2022, Clara lost her father—he took his own life. Clara is one of Gianmarco’s closest friends, and this performance tells her story.
A portrait was brought to life through her words, artistic visuals, and the music of three composers, representing her emotions: anger, dissociation, and loneliness. But everything is seen through the eyes of Gianmarco, the friend trying to approach a pain that seems untouchable.
Solo Recitals
Childhood Box
Show selected as part of the international festival Piano City in the city of Pordenone (Italy).
Opening an old box from the garret can uncover fragments of the past— dusty, worn, yet still vivid inside us.
The performance takes this image to speak about childhood, that which has shaped us from the very beginning: the roots from which we have grown, our first attitudes, preferences and flaws, the place where, ultimately, everything first encountered the world.
Rather than presenting literal memories, the recital creates symbolic, universal spaces where audiences may recognize fragments of their own stories. With a program ranging from Schubert to Mompou, Poulenc to Perugini, each piece carries a narrative role, intertwined with the pianist’s storytelling.
Together, music and words form a mental stage set— reviving emotions that, like the contents of an unopened box, wait to be rediscovered.
Chamber Music Recitals
Meredith Monk’s Piano Songs
With the pianist Alessandra di Gennaro
This recital was commissioned for the exhibition Meredith Monk’s Calling at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, in collaboration with the Hartwig Foundation.
The pianists had the opportunity to work directly with Meredith Monk and her artistic team.
An intimate evening dedicated to Meredith Monk’s celebrated cycle Piano Songs.
Best known for her pioneering vocal works, Monk has reimagined her own compositions for piano, spanning 1971–2006 and echoing influences from Mompou, Satie, and Bartók. Her piano writing highlights directness, purity, and asymmetry, while unfolding with clarity and emotional depth.
This program presents the complete cycle in the sequence personally chosen by Monk, shaping a single uninterrupted journey. Beginning with simple, mantra-like repetitions and progressing toward complex, intensely expressive works, the concert traces a spiritual crescendo.
Listeners are invited into a world where minimalism becomes luminous, repetition reveals unexpected colors, and each piece opens a new perspective within Monk’s distinctive sound universe.
