Biography

Tommaso Saturnia

Concert pianist and Composer, my artistic research aims to bring back a productive relation between the composer and the audience. As an european-born musician (Verona, Italy), the most critical issue I faced during my studies is the death of a vivid dialogue between composers and the general audience. New music shouldn't be a prerogative of a few and restricted group of experts: it should belong to everyone. This is the reason why my attention is focused on bringing back a musical theater (as opera, theatre or concert music) that, thanks to connections with literature and poetry, could engage the audience during the performance. My music always creates links between short novels, short stories, or even larger works, on a level that is not simply programmatic, but that tries to blend layers of meaning in a insighful and engaging work, both for the audience and for the musicians.

I gained my first Classical Piano Degree when I was 20 years old, at the Verona Conservatory of Music (Italy) with prof. Adriano Ambrosini, and a second Piano Master Degree, again in Verona, in 2018. Both of them with highest marks cum laude.

In 2022 I gained my Bachelor in Composition at the Trento Conservatory of Music under the guidance of Massimo Priori and Fabio Cifariello Ciardi, with highest marks, cum laude and an honorable mention. My works have been performed in important institutions such as MUSE Museum, MART museum of Modern Art, and I collaborated with associations such as the Zandonai Foundation in Rovereto (Italy), Haydn Orchestra, Oi Dialogoi and GATM (with which I held a conference in 2021 on a huge research study I did on Vaughan William's Pastoral Symphony). 

As a Piano and Music Theory teacher, I worked for more than eight years in different schools and institutions (LAMS in Verona, EDERLE American Army Base in Vicenza). 

At the moment I am studying at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with David Garner and David Conte. In the same institution I work every day as a Teaching Assistant with prof. Carl Nagin, and a tutor for the departments of Italian Language, Humanities&Science, and Musicianship&MusicTheory.
