The podcast by Filippo Gigante is dedicated to all those stories and words that have the gift, need, or enchantment of connecting with someone or something. Ingrid Carbone has been Gigante’s guest on March 30, 2026. You can listen to the full episode (in italian) here>> or below.

Ingrid Carbone, concert pianist and mathematics teacher, recounts her unique journey, combining art and science. From a young age, driven by an insatiable curiosity, she developed a dual passion for music and research. The arrival of the piano in her family was a defining moment. For years, she experienced these two dimensions as parallel worlds, until her musical writing and outreach projects, especially during teaching experiences in China, revealed to her how logical-mathematical rigor can profoundly enrich the interpretation and understanding of music. Her repertoire, which ranges from Liszt to Schubert, is chosen to explore the dialogue between controlled structure and emotional freedom. In her communication, both at conservatories and universities, she aims to create empathy and bridge distances with her audience, considering this the foundation for authentic connection. She concludes by recommending listening to Bach’s piano concertos, perfect examples of narrative tension and structured harmony that can captivate and inspire listeners to explore further.
