Top prize winner at the International Telekom Beethoven Competition Bonn and the Robert Schumann Competition Düsseldorf, and semifinalist at the Honens International Piano Competition 2025, Italian pianist Giorgio Lazzari already appeared extensively across Italy and Europe, both as a soloist and with orchestra. He is especially admired for his interpretations of the German and Austrian classics, as well as for his work in chamber music.

He has performed at major festivals including the Klavier-Festival Ruhr, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Schumannfest Düsseldorf, Beethovenfest Bonn, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Bonner Schumannfest, Vaduz Classic, Società Filarmonica di Trento, Festival Pianistico Internazionale di Brescia e Bergamo, Milano Musica, Amici della Musica di Padova, Kirchheimbolanden Festival, GIA Brescia, Musica Insieme Bologna, Teatro Ponchielli di Cremona, Trame Sonore, and Harmonies en Livradois.

A devoted chamber musician, Giorgio regularly performs with violinist Sofia Manvati as Duo Rodin, with whom he recently won the Renzo Giubergia Prize 2025.

His passion for chamber music was further deepened through the Résidence de Musique de Chambre at the 2023 Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and the Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz program, where he collaborated with artists such as Kirill Gerstein, Roman Simovic and Stefan Dohr.

Giorgio is also strongly committed to contemporary repertoire. He has worked closely with composers including Stefano Gervasoni, Alessandro Solbiati, and Olivier Cuendet, focusing on their solo and chamber music works. In 2019 he gave the premiere of Solbiati’s Corde e Martelletti at the Trame Sonore Festival in Mantova.

Born in 2000, Giorgio studied at the Conservatorio Gaetano Donizetti in Bergamo with Maria Grazia Bellocchio and is currently pursuing further studies with Kirill Gerstein and Jonathan Aner at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin.

He has been a scholarship recipient of the International Academy of Music in Liechtenstein, studying under Pavel Gililov, Claudio Martínez Mehner, and Marc Bouchkov, and was recently honoured with the Roscini–Padalino Award from Perugia Musica Classica. Giorgio is also part of Althafen Foundatin’s Talent Studio 2026.
