Lauded by Fanfare for his “dazzling technique and white-hot interpretations” and by News Review for his “stunning mastery of the instrument,” the classical pianist, composer, and recording artist Julian Gargiulo performs a virtual concert in celebration of the Figge Art Museum's 15th anniversary, the streaming August 8 event sure to demonstrate why the Huffington Post advised Gargiulo's listeners to “revise any preconceived notions you have about classical-music concerts.”

Born and educated in Italy and possessing dual United States and Italian citizenship, the 47-year-old Gargiulo studied at the Verona State Conservatory, the Mugi Academy in Rome, and the Moscow State Conservatory.
