The concert will feature pieces composed by the musician himself such
as My Room, Darakoum, Clock, The First Star, October and a special
homage to Bach, A Long Wait.
Picco is a multi-talented
Italian pianist and composer. His creations have always been a result of
his personal and innovative concept of music, according to Cesare
Bieller, chief of the cultural and political arm at the Italian Embassy
in Hanoi .
"Picco is a modern-style pianist. He gives interactive performances, always incorporating his audience," said Bieller.
"The upcoming concert in Vietnam is a chance for me to introduce my
improvisation style. I'm pleased to arrive in Hanoi a few days before
Saturday's performance because those days will allow me to get a feel
for the atmosphere and lifestyle of Hanoi ," Picco said.
Normally, Picco likes to understand the local life in places he is to
perform so as to select the most suitable pieces. He also improvises
during his concerts, which is always well received by his audiences.
On Sept. 11, Picco will also perform with Vietnamese musician Tri Minh
in a work entitled Hanoi Improvisation. The two musicians worked
together to create the concept for the piece.

Improvisation lasts about 20 minutes and uses Hanoi 's typical
sounds, said musician Minh. "I'm honoured that I will perform with
Cesare Picco. We both agreed that it is important to use Vietnamese
timbre as street sounds and voices," said Tri Minh.
