The Artist
Giordano Buondonna
Born in La Spezia, Italy, Giordano Buondonno graduated with highest honours from the Giacomo Puccini Conservatoire, earning top marks in his class. He went on to refine his artistry under the mentorship of renowned pianists Sergio De Simone, Deniz Gelenbe, Mikhail Kazakevich, and Martino Tirimo at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, where he completed both a Master in Performance and an Artist Diploma.
He later pursued further studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he was awarded a second Artist Diploma under the guidance of Ronan O’Hora, Charles Owen, and Noriko Ogawa. At the age of 19, Giordano was awarded first prize at the Clara Schumann Competition. A laureate of the PianoLink Concerto Competition, he earned first prize with a performance of Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1, accompanied by the PianoLink Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Massimo Fiocchi Malaspina at Palazzina Liberty in Milan. He was a finalist in the 2019 Beethoven Society Intercollegiate Piano
Competition and won third prize at the Sheepdrove Intercollegiate Piano Competition.
Giordano’s international debut in Russia featured a three-concert tour as part of the Pianissimo Winter Festival. His performances included appearances at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the GES-2 Concert Hall in Moscow, and the Pakgauzy Concert Hall in Nizhny Novgorod.
Notable highlights of Giordano’s career include recitals at Steinway Hall, King’s Place Hall, Milton Court Concert Hall at the Barbican Centre, St. James’s Piccadilly in London, as well as a performance at Henley Park Manor in Surrey for His Serene Highness Prince Donatus von Hohenzollern.
He has also performed in Rome as part of the Young Artist Concert Series organized by RomaTre Orchestra. Recent engagements include appearances at the South Hill Park Arts Centre International Conservatoire Series, Lighthouse Poole’s Centre for the Arts, George Solti Studio in London (performing on Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli’s piano), the Paganiniano Festival in Italy, Old Royal Naval College, St. Alfege Church, the Polish
Hearth Club in South Kensington, and St. Mary’s Perivale.
Giordano is a proud recipient of numerous scholarships and awards, including The
Leverhulme Trust Scholarship, Arthur Haynes Scholarship, Gladys Bratton Scholarship, two Jacqueline Williams Scholarships, and support from The Keyboard Charitable Trust in London.
