Elena Matteucci

Bio

Italy-based pianist Elena Matteucci performs internationally as a soloist and with orchestras, though her true passion lies in chamber music. She has collaborated with leading artists such as Robert McDuffie, Felix Ayo, Uto Ughi, Anna Tifu, Massimo Quarta, Dimitry Sitkovetsky, Domenico Nordio, Sonig Thackerian, Anna Serova, Ramon Jaffè, Laurence Dutton, and Aubree Oliverson. In 2022, she and violinist David Yonan won the Best Instrumental Collaboration at the LIT Talent Award.

A former member of the Michelangelo Piano Quartet, she won first prize at the International Chamber Music Competition in Illzach, France, and the prestigious Premio Michelangelo, chaired by the late Ennio Morricone. The ensemble recorded the complete Brahms Piano Quartets (Casa Bassi) and Schumann’s quartets and quintets with fortepiano – performances praised by Classic FM for their depth and authenticity.

Elena is a regular guest at The Concerts at the Quirinale, a series broadcast across Europe in partnership with Rai-Quirinale and the Presidency of the Italian Republic.

She co-founded Storie d’amare e d’amore, a music-theatre project celebrating iconic female literary characters, and has collaborated with the international ITARTS project in Uzbekistan.

She graduated with special honors in piano from the Santa Cecilia Conservatory under Fausto Di Cesare, studied chamber music with Riccardo Brengola at the Academy of Santa Cecilia, and trained with Vincenzo Vitale in Naples.

Elena leads international workshops in piano and chamber music and currently teaches at the Conservatory of Music “Alfredo Casella” in L’Aquila.
