Leonardo Colafelice, piano

At age 21, Leonardo Colafelice was the youngest conservatory teacher in Italy, teaching piano performance. Now 23, Colafelice has already arrayed a collection of gold and first-prize honors as a performer, from American and international Young Artists piano competitions, including a gold medal at the Eastman Young Artists International Piano Competition in Rochester, N.Y. On programs in the U.S., Italy, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Israel, Morocco, Turkey, Norway, Chile and Georgia, Colafelice presents concerts “nothing short of miraculous, with careful attention to capturing every color and every character,” says reviewer Josh Wright.
