Staged Concert

Pizz'n'Zip as a staged concert is a modern fusion between music and theater and in this case also between dancing and singing: in addition to performing music of all kinds with their instruments, the two performers act, sing and dance showing how every idea, every intention and any purpose can be clearly expressed without the need of words. A virtuosity, rendered with irony and lightness, which allows any spectator, especially children, to fully enjoy a live performance that might normally be difficult to listen to, and experience the immense world of emotions and nuances that music can offer.

BIOGRAPHIES

SHORTER BIOS (ITA/ENG)

FEDERICA VECCHIO, CELLO

Federica Vecchio studied at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia of Rome, with M° F.Strano, and graduated at the Conservatorio di Perugia F.Morlacchi in September 2007, under the guidance of M° M.Damiani. She also took a Master in Classical String Performances with the Hungarian M°Ferenz Szucs. She worked in various orchestras, chamber ensamble and theatral shows, she's part of a Female String Quartet Shararè, a Cellos Quartet Edone, ad other variuos ensembles. Currently she is working in different musical realities, from classical to bossa nova, from contemporary improvisation to musical theater and Rock bands. This because the music, like any form of art, makes us free and dreamers; Federica deeply believes that to be the dreamers is the first step to being truly free. She started a new theatrical music trio, Musicomici, having a great success in “Italia’s Got Talent” 2013 and bringing their show, “Allegro con Trio”, in various Italian theaters. Music as theater is for her a continuous flow of new ideas and projects, passion and dedication.

ELEONORA SAVINI, VIOLIN

Eleonora Savini graduated at the "Conservatorio S. Cecilia” in Rome and took her Master Degree in Violin Performance at the “Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana” in Lugano. Her eclecticism and enthusiasm for all the musical styles have convinced her to embark on a full- time musical theater career: she started with “Heroïca” (winning the Junge Ohren Preis award in 2014), then “Goldmädchen” and “Senegalliarde”, both produced by Lucerne Festival, “Domande” and “Voci di Notte” in Teatro Dimitri (Verscio), “Foresta” for Philharmonie Luxembourg, “Mona Violina”, for Lucerne Festival 2021, "D' Prinzessin op der Ierbes" (2023), "BarkaBach" (2024). She also collaborated with Musica- Impulscentrum voor Musiek (Neerpelt), and participated to the development of the Atelier “Babelut Parcours”, designed for 0-3 years old children. She is performing throughout Europe (KKL Luzern, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Philharmonie Luxembourg, Wiener Konzerthaus, Kölner Philharmonie, Brucknerhaus Linz), and teaching in several schools around Turin.
