Sunday Morning Concert: Stepping into Italy

Born in Italy in 1967, Enrico is an active conductor and composer. He studied piano with Franco Scala and in 1987 won the International Yamaha Competition and in 1989 the Franz Liszt Piano Competition. Pace has conducted various Orchestras and has played at even more. His incredible playing style, silky-smooth and whistle-clean has made me a very sought after musician at various venues.

Step into Italy, a country famous for its fine wine and classical music. The concert will be led by Pietro Rizzo and will showcase the compositions of 2 great Italian musicians - Giuseppe Martucci and Ottorino Respighi. The concert will have no breaks during the hour-long session. The music is tightly-structured and will be played by the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.
