Antonicelli / Fischer - 11/25
This masterclass offers a unique opportunity for pianists preparing for competitions, auditions, or concert appearances to refine their musical and technical abilities in a highly focused environment. What sets this course apart is its collaborative team-teaching format: each participant works one-on-one with both instructors simultaneously, engaging directly with two artistic viewpoints in real time. This dual approach creates space for dynamic exchange, precise feedback, and deeper interpretive insight.
Repertoire from Baroque to Contemporary is explored with particular attention to stylistic distinction, expressive depth, and technical polish.
Fedele Antonicelli

Fedele Antonicelli, born in 1973, studied piano in Bari with Giovanna Valente and in Saarbrücken with Thomas Duis, graduating with distinction. He furthered his training in masterclasses with renowned artists such as Benedetto Lupo, Menahem Pressler, and Aldo Ciccolini. A multiple prizewinner at national and international competitions—including the Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Walter Gieseking Competitions—he received the Münchner Kammerorchester Special Prize at the 2002 ARD Music Competition.
As a soloist, Antonicelli has performed across Europe, North America, and Asia with orchestras such as the Bari Symphony, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra. His interpretations have been broadcast by RAI, BR, NHK, and others. He currently teaches collaborative piano at the University of Music Saar and has been dedicated to mentoring young pianists in the Ulm–Aalen region, many of whom have won top prizes at major competitions.
