Francesca Matacena is a pianist with an extensive concert career as a soloist and chamber musician, as well as recordings for radio, television and record labels, alongside academic qualifications and publications. She has taken part in musical events all over the world, from Europe to China, from Kazakhstan to Russia, and including countries such as Uzbekistan, Argentina, the Caucasus region and Malaysia, to the extent that she is regarded as a true ambassador of music worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2020 she received the Premio dell\u2019Adriatico for Music; in 2017 she was awarded the National \u201cGalvanina Cuore\u201d Prize for her commitment, through music, in support of populations affected by earthquakes.
In 2004 she founded in the city of Pesaro the CIMP, \u201cil palcoscenico grande come il mondo\u201d (a stage as large as the world), which allows young musicians to gain recognition through a competition that includes prizes such as the prestigious Rossini International Award.
She is Deputy Artistic Director of the Societ\u00e0 Amici della Musica of Jesi and is particularly responsible for the section dedicated to young artists within the Concert Season, now in its 85th edition. As Deputy Director, from 2000 to 2010 she coordinated, alongside Mario Melani, the educational and artistic activities of the International Academy of Opera Singing \u201cRenata Tebaldi \u2013 Mario del Monaco\u201d in Pesaro.
Alongside her artistic and professional activity, she is also engaged in social work: she is a member of the Rotary Club of her city and, upon specific request, has been invited over the years to hold prestigious roles within the Italian Red Cross and the Volunteering Service Centre of the Marche region (representing more than 400 associations in the region), as well as in schools as coordinator of music workshops and in various non-profit organisations involved in projects supporting younger generations and families.
From this wide-ranging experience, the project \u201cRossiniMania\u201d was created: a space of solidarity where great music is placed at the service of the most vulnerable. In 2016, \u201cRossiniMania\u201d received the National Volunteering & Business Award.
She is Professor of Piano Practice and Score Reading at the Rossini Conservatoire in Pesaro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
