The University of Virginia Department of Music presents a masterclass by Michael Angelucci on Saturday, March 28th at 2:00pm in Old Cabell Hall. This event is free and open to the public. This event is supported by the Eleanor Shea Music Trust and is co-sponsored by the Charlottesville Music Teachers' Association (CMTA). Performers for the masterclass are pre-selected.
Hailed as “a great artistic talent” by the A&B Foundation, American pianist Michael Angelucci holds First Prize in the Bradshaw and Buono International Piano Competition, First Prize in the American Prize National Competition, and the coveted Foundation La Gesse fellowship. His compelling craft has brought him to exciting venues worldwide such as Carnegie-Weill Hall in New York, the Artown Festival in Reno, and the historic Auditorium de la Salle du Dome in France. Highlights from recent seasons include a two-week tour with the Tahoe Symphony Orchestra and a residency with ARTIST Music Academies of Maryland.
Alongside his performance résumé, Michael devotes considerable energy to teaching college and pre-college musicians. He is currently on faculty at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, where he holds dual teaching appointments in the Conservatory and Preparatory divisions. A prolific clinician, Dr. Angelucci has taught for Peabody Piano Week, the Ivy International Music Festival, the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ National Convention, and the William Knabe International Competition and Festival, among others, and is in frequent demand as a jurist nationally and abroad.
Michael earned his Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the Peabody Conservatory and a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Maryland. His pianistic background is shaped by an impressive legacy of artist-teachers, including Bradford Gowen, Ann Schein, Hans Boepple, Benjamin Pasternack, Brian Ganz, and Dr. Paul Wirth. He makes his home in Baltimore, where he enjoys a visible profile in the performance and pedagogical life of the mid-Atlantic.
