Piano Recital - Calgary

Pianist Emilio De Mercato performs at Michael Lipnicki Fine Pianos, Calgary’s Premier Piano Store for piano sales and service.

In honour of the "Supreme Poet" Dante Alighieri on the 760th anniversary of his birth, and as a tribute to Italy, Emilio De Mercato will be performing Franz Liszt’s “Après une lecture du Dante”, and “Sonetto del Petrarca No. 104.” This transcendent diptych, closely relating to De Mercato’s Italian origins, is preceded by the treasured Kinderszenen by Robert Schumann, and followed by Modest Mussorgsky’s monumental Pictures at an Exhibition.

This concert is part of Emilio De Mercato's 2025 Piano Tour, with stops in different Canadian cities, leading up to his debut in New York at the Carnegie Hall, in May.
