With an insatiable thirst for knowledge, she pursued and successfully completed her Interpretation and Composition Piano Master with top honors and summa cum laude at the Institute of Superior Music Study "G. B. Pergolesi" in Ancona. Under the watchful eye and guidance of M° Lorenzo Di Bella, she achieved yet another milestone in 2012 by acquiring her Piano Master from the prestigious S. Cecilia Music Academy in Rome, studying under the tutelage of M°° Sergio Perticaroli and Stefano Fiuzzi. Cettina's artistry has graced renowned stages across Europe and the USA, leaving a trail of awe-inspiring piano concertos and mesmerizing recitals. From the illustrious Steinway Hall in New York to the esteemed Wiener Saal in Salzburg, from the soulful echoes at Parco della Musica in Rome to the sacred ambiance of Orsanmichele Church in Florence—her performances have left an indelible mark.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Many clients mention the passion and genuine emotion I infuse into my performances. Music is a powerful language, and conveying its emotional depth adds an extra layer of connection and engagement for the audience.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Various concert halls and theatres, as well as private venues and churches.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Flexibility is crucial, and I understand that event schedules can sometimes evolve. If your timings change after booking my services, please reach out to me as soon as possible to discuss the adjustments. I'll do my best to accommodate the new timings and ensure that I can still be a part of your event.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

I'm sorry, but I'm unable to provide an iPod/DJ service before and between my live sets. My expertise and focus are dedicated to live piano performances. If you require pre-recorded music before or between sets, I recommend arranging for a separate iPod/DJ service to ensure a seamless musical experience during those times.

How much time do you need to set up?

For a seamless performance, I require about 30 to 60 minutes. This time allows me to prepare the piano, organize any additional equipment, and ensure that everything is in optimal condition for the best musical experience. However, the specific setup time may vary depending on the complexity of the event, logistics, and unique requirements.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Absolutely! If your venue is equipped with a piano, I would be more than happy to perform on it. Playing on a venue's piano is often more convenient and efficient, and it allows for a more seamless integration with the event. However, I'll coordinate with you to gather info about the piano to ensure it's in working order and tuned.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Of course! I value your input and preferences. You can certainly pick the songs you'd like to hear from my setlist. If you have specific songs in mind, feel free to share that info with me. I'm here to tailor my performance to your desires. Your choices will help shape the atmosphere and make the event uniquely yours.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I can bring my own keyboard if needed. If the venue doesn't have a suitable piano or if you prefer the convenience and flexibility of a keyboard, I can provide and set up my own electric piano for the performance. Just let me know in advance, and we can make the necessary arrangements for a smooth and successful event.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If there are particular songs you'd like to have included in the performance and they're not already in my repertoire, please provide the details. Advanced notice and any relevant sheet music or audio references would be greatly appreciated to facilitate this process and deliver a tailored musical experience.
