Marina Piccinini
Internationally-renowned flutist MARINA PICCININI’s rich artistic tapestry is woven from the multi-national, multi-lingual household in which she grew up, bringing that vibrant spirit and global perspective to all of her cultural and personal endeavors. As a 36th-generation Shaolin Fighting Monk, she relishes an ideology that inspires self-discovery, discipline, finding joy, and having no limits.
Known for expanding the repertoire of her instrument, her program offerings are among the most extensive of today's illustrious artists. She has premiered concerti and solo works by Aaron Jay Kernis, John Harbison, Lukas Foss, Paquito D’Rivera, Marc-Andre Dalbavie, Kalevi Aho, and Yuko Uebayashi, and most recently, Christopher Theofanidis. Upcoming is a new concerto by Clarice Assad. Her appearances as soloist include the Boston, Vienna, Montreal, Tokyo, Toronto and National Symphonies and London, Rotterdam, and Hong Kong Philharmonics, and she has worked with some of the leading conductors of our time, including Ozawa, Masur, Boulez, and Salonen. She also appears regularly on major stages around the world artists and ensembles including the Pacific, Brentano, and Takács Quartets; pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Andreas Haefliger; and Tre Voci, her flute, harp, and viola trio; and can be heard on the Avie, Claves, and ECM labels.
In 2023, she co-founded the Zauberklang Festival with pianist Andreas Haefliger in the heart of Burglen, Switzerland, where she was also named Cultural Ambassador in Uri. She is creator and founder of the Marina Piccinini International Masterclasses (MPIMC), and the first flutist to win the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant. She is currently on the faculty of the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University.
