About the Artist

Nicoleta Savvidou is a classically trained pianist born and raised in Paphos, Cyprus. She is currently pursuing her M.M. in Piano Performance at Longy School of Music of Bard College, studying with Donald Berman, under the Christopher Horner Endowed Scholarship. She received her B.M. in Piano Performance major and Creative Entrepreneurship minor from Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where she studied with Max Levinson. Nicoleta has been in Boston for the last six years, where she had the opportunity to expand her musical horizons and points of view through various performances and collaborations with amazing artists around the world.

I believe that music can connect people, strengthen relationships and foster understanding. My motivation is to convey the complex and powerful emotions found in our daily lives through the power of Classical music. As a pianist, I am constantly drawn to the inclusive and connecting power of my instrument. Through its remarkable versatility and rich sound, I strive to bring to life a diverse range of musical works, showcasing the rich history of classical music while highlighting the works of underrepresented composers: bridging Baroque’s solemn regality to Serialism’s intricate harmonic complexity.
