(Members-only) Solo Piano Concert and Reception with Rossina Grieco Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Born and raised in La Jolla, California, Rossina Grieco began piano studies at the age of four. After achieving international recognition within the first few years of her career, the Italo-Shanghainese prodigy and wunderkind made her formal solo debut. At eight years old, Grieco played to a sold-out Copley Hall as the youngest pianist to ever grace its stage with the San Diego Symphony. Critics hailed Grieco as a prodigy “well beyond her years,” citing Grieco as “an absolute star, bringing audiences to their feet.” At age 11, Grieco was accepted at The Juilliard School of Music. During her teen years, she premiered at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, with standing ovations for her performance of Chopin’s First Piano Concerto. Grieco continued to tour extensively throughout Europe and Asia. Grieco has received recognition from illustrious artists, such as Gary Graffman (Curtis Institute), Dmitri Bashkirov (Tchaikovsky Competition, Reina Sofia School), Dame Fanny Waterman DBE (Leeds Competition), Gábor Takács-Nagy (Takács Quartet, Verbier Festival), and Yu Long (China Philharmonic). Grieco continued to distinguish herself through remarkable achievements while attending the Glen Gould School for which she was unanimously chosen. Grieco is the longest-standing recipient and only female winner of the Ihnatowycz Prize in piano, an award previously held by Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki. During her studies, she developed almost 60 hours of solo, chamber, and concerti repertoire while debuting six albums across all streaming platforms. Having signed a two-year contract with British boutique management company Polyphony Arts, Grieco continues her artistic pursuits and is happily married.
