About / Biography

Please note Anna-Lisa doesn't drive and so uses public transport and requires a piano to be at the venue.

Graduated with honours from the Gioachino Rossini and the Santa Cecilia Conservatoires of Pesaro and Rome in Italy, winner of multiple international competitions and scholarships, Anna-Lisa has additionally refined her studies with some of the world's finest pianists such as Benedetto Lupo, Aquiles Delle Vigne, Aldo Ciccolini, Kathryn Stott, and Cristina Ortiz.


Anna Lisa has been playing as a soloist and in ensembles for various concert institutions in Italy and across Europe (Germany, Switzerland, and England) receiving international awards and remarkable comments for her very first interpretations of contemporary pieces. She has performed with internationally renowned musicians such as violinist Dejan Bogdanovich and clarinettist Dimitri Ashkenazy.


Her extensive experience also includes recordings of labelled CDs, musical performances for theatre and on cruise ships, concerts as accompanist of choirs and singers, basso continuo at the harpsichord and organ as well as lecture-concerts, listening guides for concert seasons, and artistic direction of music festivals.


Her versatile skills and love for elegant environments brought her to play background music in private and public venues including The Village at Westfield London (2013-17) and Harvey Nichols. In 2023 and 2024 she has been playing as Guest Pianist aboard the luxury residential yacht The World.


Anna-Lisa's vast repertoire covers a variety of styles and genres ranging from Bach to the present day and it is flavoured by a peculiar interest in old-fashioned Italian and other folk songs. She also is a successful piano teacher and holds a PGCE in Education for teaching music internationally.
