Divertimento Piano Masterclass 2026

Organised by Divertimento Ensemble, Italy

The 2026 masterclass, held by pianist Maria Grazia Bellocchio, is divided into two cycles: the first from November 2025 to February 2026, and the second from February to May 2026. Each cycle consists of four two-day sessions. 

On 19 February 2026 the pianists of the 2026 masterclass Call for Young Performers / piano performed the first masterclass concert.

The first cycle (and thus the first concert on 19 February) is dedicated to the piano and chamber music works of György Kurtág, who turns 100 years old on this very day.

On 21 May 2026  the pianists of the 2026 masterclass Call for Young Performers / piano performed the second masterclass concert at Donatoni Hall.

For this 2026 session, Emanuele Pino was selected to attend the course as part of his ULYSSES Journey. 

Music by Andre, Bertrand, Boulez, Harvey, Ives, Solbiati, Stockhausen.

Venue: Donati Hall, Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan
