BIO: SERGIO GALLO
Sergio Gallo received his degrees from the Conservatoire Europien de Musique in Paris (Diplome d''Excellence), the Franz Liszt Academy of Budapest, Hungary, the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (Master of Music and Artist Diploma), and the University of California (DMA). He has performed with orchestras throughout the Americas and has recorded recitals for Radio France and Radio Cultura. He has performed solo recitals in Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, as well as in major cities in the United States. Dr. Gallo serves on the faculty of the Music Department at the University of North Dakota.
"Sergio Gallo performed the second book from images by Debussy not only with poetic imagination but also with tender tone and fascinating bravura, qualities one would say, not easily found in young pianists. In addition, the piece Festa no Serto by Villa-Lobos, which closed the recital, was performed with amazing temperament, richness of feeling and grandeur."
