Gabriele Carcano, the recipient of the 2010 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship Award, is a pianist equally at home in recital, as a soloist with orchestras, and as a chamber musician. Praised by the Sddeutsche Zeitung as a ''sculptor of sound'' and aesthete after his Munich debut at the Herkulessaal, Gabriele is the winner of numerous awards, including the Casella Prize at the Competition Premio Venezia.

At the invitation of Mitsuko Uchida, he participated in the prestigious Marlboro Festival. He was featured on Musicians from Marlboro tours, performing at venues and series such as the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, the Gardner Museum Concerts in Boston and at the People's Symphony Concerts in New York.

In summer 2014, Gabriele Carcano gave a sensational performance in an open-air concert with the Ensemble of Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino at the main square of his native city, attracting twelve thousand listeners. In 2018 will make his debuts at the Mariinsky in St. Petersburg and Musashino Hall in Tokyo.

Born in Turin in 1985, Gabriele began studying the piano at the age of seven and graduated from the Conservatory Giuseppe Verdi in Turin at age seventeen with the highest grades and honors. He continued his studies with Aldo Ciccolini in Paris, followed by Nicholas Angelich at the Conservatoire National Superior de Musique. Notably, he has also worked with Leon Fleisher, Richard Goode, and Mitsuko Uchida.
