Born in Ticino, Leonardo De Nigris impressed the jury with his richly colored and deeply emotional interpretation of Mozart. By giving meaning to every single note, he has the ability to touch the hearts of his listeners and bring a smile to their faces.
You will also hear Leonardo Merlini, who captivated the jury with his powerful, brilliant, and remarkably precise performance of Shostakovich – all the more impressive given his young age.
