Giovanni Andrea Zanon e Leonora Armellini in concerto

Giovanni Andrea Zanon began studying the violin at the age of 2. In the course of his musical activity he won more than 30 national and international competitions, including the Riviera Etrusca at the age of 4, the National Arts Award as the best violinist of the Italian conservatories, the Novosibirsk Competition in Russia where he also won all the special prizes and the degree at the Wieniawski and Lipinski Violin Competition in Lublin.

Leonora Armellini was a very young winner of the “Janina Nawrocka Prize” for “extraordinary musicality and beauty of sound” at the “F. Chopin” International Piano Competition in Warsaw (2010). The achievement was brilliantly confirmed in the 2021 edition, with a Fifth Prize that makes her the first Italian woman to have climbed the heights of the competition regarded as the pinnacle of world pianism.
