From the Promoter

Romeo Scaccia is a fantastic pianist and brilliant composer who has honed his skills and talents during a diverse and eclectic career. After years of training in the most prestigious academies, Scaccia abandoned a concert career as a classical pianist to devote himself to his first passion – composition – and his restless, inquisitive mind does not allow him to play in one style alone. The music and soundtracks Romeo Scaccia has composed for concerts, films, festivals and exhibitions have garnered him a both a solid professional reputation and a significant fan base.~

The truly amazing feature of Romeo Scaccia is his enthusiastic and fearless navigation into all mediums to propagate his music. He lives and loves music in all of its forms. His concert performances demonstrate an absolute mastery of the pianoforte. Technical perfection is not a point of arrival but the means by which the artist finds freedom. Expressing his eclecticism with elegance and ease, Scaccia’s range is immense and spans from the ingenious interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations – some say uncannily reminiscent of Glenn Gould – to haunting renditions of modern compositions that traverse genres seamlessly. Romeo Scaccia’s freedom of expression characterizes his performances. Reviews have characterized him as a musician of remarkable and unique talent and audiences are swept directly into the notes and feel as if they conducted the performance themselves.

Some of Scaccia’s major achievements include executing the very first intercontinental streamed digital concert, connecting performances in Caligari, London and Amsterdam (1999); composing a soundtrack for the 1929 silent film “La Grazia” (2005); composing the soundtrack for “The 8th Samurai,” winner of the Los Angeles Short Film Festival (2009); collaborating with Chinese artist Shan Shan Sheng at the Shanghai World Exposition, winning the Prix Italy (2010); composing the soundtrack of “Symphony of Taste” and being awarded “Oscar della pubblicità Italiana” (2014).
The winner of several national and international piano competitions, his most recent award in 2014 was the medal awarded by the~President of the Italian Senate~“for his outstanding artistic quality and the constant search for new expressions between visual art, drama, music favoring essential tools for training and cultural exchanges.”
