COMPLETE BIOGRAPHY
This is an extended version of Ingrid Carbone’s biography, exploring every inch of the artist’s career. Here you can find more information such as the academic background, the skills, and so on.
“It is certainly a very fine recording – among the very best new recordings of these works that I have heard in recent years.“
Glyn Pursglove – MusicWeb International, 2020
[Ingrid Carbone] Provides a convincing display of what will always remain a fascinating landscape in my ears.”
Aart van der Waal – Opus Klassiek, 2020
“She is herself exactly like the composer she plays. This is a gift that great talents have: the ability to put themselves in the other’s shoes without imposing themselves and in any case remaining tied to the composer and his work. […] The composer and the pianist together make music eternal, which we hope can involve, inspire, move many generations after us, and make us hope and desire.”
Ludwig van Mechelen – Klassiek Centraal, 2020

4. CV GAPS
Since my childhood I had two passions: music and mathematics.
My studies proceeded in parallel: I obtained the final diploma at the conservatory with full marks at the age of 19 with Francesco Monopoli, who stated that I was “his best student” and, in 2013, after more than 20 years, he made the same statement when we were gathered with all the jury members of an international competition.
I graduated in mathematics summa cum laude at age 21.
In 1993, at the Biennial International Master Course in Barletta I obtained the Honor Diploma and I was awarded a recital in the Red Hall of the Norman Castle of Barletta (Italy). At that point I faced a deep dilemma. In the same period (1992-1994) I obtained a two years scholarship at the Institute “Francesco Severi” in Rome and a year later (1995-1996) a scholarship supported by the Italian Research Council to do research at the university of Bari. These scholarships, together with a teaching contract at the university of Calabria, gave me immediate and concrete results.
In 1997 I became, by a competition, assistant professor in Bari, where I was since 1995, and remained till the end of 2000. However, wherever I lived, I rented a piano and continued to cultivate my main passion.
When I moved to my home university, where I got the tenure, I felt confident enough to dedicate myself again with great commitment to music. I attended master classes given by Lazar Berman, Eduardo Ogando and Aquiles delle Vigne, who was particularly influential and my collaboration with him was quite intense during his frequent visits to Italy. But I also visited him in Brussels (where he lived) and was part of his group at the International Summer School in Salzburg, where I was selected to perform at the Mozarteum.
In that period the scientific library of my university was in a chaotic situation and I accept the position of president, teaching mathematics at the same time. For four years (2003-2007) I devoted most of my time improving the situation. It was not a complete waste of time because I learned how to run a big structure open 12 hours (more that 20 employees, trade unions, colleagues from six scientific departments, almost 10.000 students) and how to organize events. In particular I organized the belated inauguration of the library with the participation of the famous astronomer Margherita Hack. The Library, during my presidentship, became an example of good organization.
After my return to normal life, I played from 2007 till 2015 duo violin-piano with Eugenio Prete. We gave several concerts in Calabria, but also one in Perugia (Umbria) and in Barletta (Puglia).
The accomplished pianist Cristiano Burato attended several performances of the duo and suggested me in 2014 to return to soloist repertoire. He was visiting frequently Calabria and I followed several of his master classes. The events which mark my return to the main track were the international competitions I won in 2015 (first prize and second prize) and the IBLA competitions in 2016 and 2017.
