Past Performances

Pietro Fresa moved to London to study at the Royal College of Music and completed the four-year Bachelor Degree course in a mere two years, obtaining a First Class Honours Degree. He returned to Shrewsbury in 2019 to give a recital in St Alkmunds Church. He played Mozart's Sonata No.12 in F, followed by the 3 Intermezzi by Brahms Op.117. He concluded his recital with Chopin's Ballades No. 2 and 4 and his 3 Mazurkas Op.33.

Pietro Fresa gave his first recital In 2017 at St Chads Church when he was aged 17.  This was the very first Shrewsbury International Piano Recital. At that time he played Debussy's Images Book 1 and Pour le Piano L25, followed by a peerless performance of Beethoven's Sonata No.21 "The Waldstein" Op.53. In the second half he played Chopin's Ballade No.2 and finished with Schumann's Sonata No.2  Op.22. He was rewarded by a standing ovation from a packed audience and raised over £1000 for rebuilding a school in Nepal destroyed by the earthquake.
