Award-winning pianist Antonio Pompa-Baldi.
Meet-the-artist session features Van Cliburn piano competition winner
(Nov. 8, 2001)--The UTSA Department of Music will sponsor a "Meet the Artist" session with award-winning pianist Antonio Pompa-Baldi from 2-3:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 in the Arts Building Recital Hall on the 1604 Campus. Pompa-Baldi, a silver medalist at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, will perform for approximately half an hour, answer questions from the audience and administer a brief master class with a UTSA piano student.
Pompa-Baldi was the first prize winner of the 1999 Cleveland Competition, and has played extensively throughout the United States and Europe. His tours have been highlighted by recitals in major concert venues in Bologna, Cleveland, Milan, Naples, New York and Paris. He has played as a soloist with Orchestra National de Paris-Radio France, the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana, the Ohio Chamber Orchestra, the Southwest Florida Symphony and the Spokane Symphony.
Pompa-Baldi attributes much of his success to his current teacher, Annamaria Pennella. On the faculty of the Annamaria Pennella International Academy in L’Aquila, Italy, he recently became assistant professor of piano at the Oberlin Conservatory.
The event is free and open to the public. Free parking will be available in Lot 8. For more information call Jasmin Khair at (210) 458-4550.
