Annini Tsioutis

Annini Tsioutis is a pianist, musicologist and music arranger whose academic and artistic endeavours focus on the exploration of 20th and 21st century music. Her multifaceted approach integrates performance practice, musicological research and original composition, demonstrating a comprehensive engagement with contemporary musical discourse. Annini has distinguished herself through numerous premieres of contemporary compositions for piano and an active collaboration with living composers. Her academic credentials include a doctorate in musicology from Sorbonne University.

At Bogliasco Annini will prepare a critical and performance edition of the 32 Piano Pieces by Greek composer N. Skalkottas. This project builds on her dissertation, which comprised a preliminary edition based on extensive archival research and a comparative analysis of the two surviving manuscripts of the work. The current project aims to refine and update this first edition to produce a final version suitable for commercial publication. This scholarly work will make it easier for pianists to engage with Skalkottas’s hitherto neglected work.
