Elizaveta Coroli and Nikola Meeuwsen with Brahms at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna
The Teatro Comunale di Bologna announces the 2025 symphonic season, which will host two of our student pianists – Elizaveta Coroli and Nikola Meeuwsen – this year, performing Brahms’ concertos for piano and orchestra. CEO Fulvio Macciardi himself highlights the collaboration with the Imola Academy, stating that it makes it possible to give life to ‘a very rich and more extensive season compared to the past, with over twenty concerts […] Our theatre is in good health’.
The prestigious participation seals two peaks of the Brahms Project, by which the Fondazione Accademia di Imola is engaged in a didactic and research work. This project will culminate in 2025 with the recording of piano and chamber music works, other than international study days and master classes about Johannes Brahms.
Born in 2004 in Chisinau, Moldova, Elizaveta Coroli is the winner of major awards, such as first prizes at the ‘Ignacy Paderevsky’ National Competition in Moldova, the ‘Fryderyk Chopin’ International Piano Competition in Bacau, Romania and the ‘Bechstein’ International Piano Competition in Lvov, Ukraine.
Nikola Meeuwsen, born in The Hague in 2002, distinguished himself since a very young age, winning the Steinway Competition in 2012, at the age of nine, and the Royal Concertgebouw Competition in 2014. In 2019 he received the Concertgebouw Young Talent Award. He has been studying with Enrico Pace at the Imola Piano Academy since 2014.
