Polo Piatti is an award-winning British-Argentine composer and concert pianist, and one of very few high-profile international musicians concentrating exclusively on the creation, performance, and promotion of melodic, universally appealing classical music. He is considered a leading neo-romantic composer.
Piatti believes very strongly that melodic music is able to generate deep positive emotions, and in doing so, contribute greatly to a much better world today.
Considered a pioneer performer of classical piano improvisations since his youth, he completed several tours as a soloist and with orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, North, and South-America. And his compositions have been performed and are loved all over the world for their evocative and passionate character.
Some of his latest commissions include a Multi-Faith Oratorio ‘Libera Nos’ (to be world-premiered by the London Mozart Players in 2021 in the UK), his ‘Christmas Concerto’ for Guitar & Orchestra, and his ‘Old World Concerto’ for Cello & Orchestra... read more >

OLD WORLD CONCERTO
FOR CELLO AND ORCHESTRA
Friday 20th May 2022 - 7pm
De La Warr Pavillion, Bexhill-on-Sea, UK
In January 2019, Polo Piatti received a very special, private commission to write a brand new concerto for violoncello and orchestra. The work was completed in April 2020 and named Old World Concerto and will be premiered by wonderful British cellist Tim Posner at the 5th International Composers Festival's opening concert on Friday 20th May 2022 in the United Kingdom, together with the International Festival Orchestra, conducted by Daniel W. Boothe (Virginia, USA)
BOHEMIAN CONCERTO
FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA
Saturday 27th November 2021 - 7pm
Virginia Beach
Described by leading pianists as "one of Piatti's most beautiful and accomplished works to-date”, his Bohemian Concerto for Piano and Orchestra was given its first performance by virtuoso pianist Thomas Pandolfi together with the Symphonicity Symphony Orchestra under the direction of maestro Daniel W. Boothe in Virginia Beach, in the United States of America.
The "Bohemian" is a very emotional and passionate work, very much in the spirit of Chopin’s and Rachmaninoff's concertos, with the piano as the main protagonist while the orchestra dialogues with, and supports the soloist, requiring from the pianist both a very fine and subtle interpretation ability as well as considerable stamina and technical skills.
The concerto's name refers to the spirit of what we call a “bohemian" person, someone that leads the free spirited, tumultuous existence of an artist, with moments of excess, ecstacy and passion as well as warmth, introspection, love for the world and intense joie de vivre
CHRISTMAS CONCERTO
FOR GUITAR AND ORCHESTRA
Piatti recently finished writting a 'Christmas Concerto' for Guitar and Orchestra. The virtuoso work has been especially commissioned by international star guitarist Sergio Puccini to whom the concerto has been dedicated. Maestro Puccini plans to world-premiere the Concerto in due course in a country and venue to be announced soon.
