Chiara Massini

Chiara Massini was born in Rome
She went to Vienna, where she studied harpsichord and figured bass at the University of Music and the Performing Arts under Profs. Gordon Murray and Augusta Campagne, respectively, graduating with distinction.
In addition to numerous recordings for Austrian, Italian, Canadian and Spanish radio, she is active as soloist and chamber musician (Le Carillon) and has appeared at various festivals and concert series in Europe, Canada, Brazil and Lebanon, including the "Al Bustan" Festival in Beirut, "I concerti del Gonfalone" and "I concerti del Quirinale" in Rome, "Soli Deo Gloria" in Reggio Emilia, the "Musikfestspiele" in Dresden, the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus in Vienna.
As one critic remarked on her solo debut CD, "Toccata, Passacaglia, Partita," released in 2003 and broadcast in Italy and Canada: "Her playing captivates through its combination of technical authority and expressive power."
