Piccinini performs Theofanidis with Buffalo Phil for Eclipse Weekend
Co-commissioned for her by the Buffalo Philharmonic (as well as the Grant Park Festival, Erie Philharmonic, Aspen Music Festival, and Boston Modern Orchestra Project), Marina brings Christopher Theofanidis' engaging flute concerto The Universe in Ecstatic Motion to Buffalo Friday April 5 and Saturday April 6 for the orchestra's 'Beyond The Planets' eclipse weekend celebration.
The Chicago Classical Review remarked "Piccinini’s performance [of the concerto at Grant Park Festival] made clear that she deserves her reputation as one of the world’s true masters on her instrument. Poised, technically flawless, and even playful in her delivery, she gave stellar advocacy to her friend’s new work. Her tone was rich, pure, and pitch-perfect, impressively resonant even at the highest register of her instrument."
Piccinini featured in Mozart quartet with Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth
This fall, Marina Piccinini was the featured artist on a concert opening the Chamber Music Society of Ft. Worth’s season. Onstage NTX commented:
“Superstar Marina Piccinini is an international flute soloist. Gramophone has called her “the Heifetz of the flute” because of her perfect mastery of technique and exceptional velocity. But that is not really the most outstanding aspect of her playing. Most flutists have such nimble fingers, but with Piccinini it’s the sound she produces that is so striking. The core of her sound is homogeneous in all registers (quite unusual), yet remarkably expressive and flexible for coloring and phrasing.
...In spite of the limitations, Mozart wrote a piece that certainly puts the instrument through its paces. Fast tongued and staccato passages contrast with technical fireworks and some very long held notes. Piccinini easily breezed through the work on her modern flute in such a manner that the challenges were nearly unnoticeable.”
Piccinini & Haefliger appointed as Swiss ambassadors
Switzerland's Kanton Uri has announced the appointment of Marina Piccinini and Andreas Haefliger as ambassadors. This honor is an extraordinary testament to the community embracing their new Zauberklang, both in its artistic vision and bringing a focus and exceptional music to Bürglen, the legendary birthplace of William Tell.
Piccinini Performs in Philadelphia
Marina returns to the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society with violinist Hye-Jin Kim, cellist Peter Stumpf, and pianist Cynthia Raim.
