Carlo Alessandro Lapegna
was born in Naples. At the age of twelve he moved to Canada with his family. After graduating from high school, he decided to come back to Italy and devote himself entirely to his piano and musical education. He studied piano with Maestro Vincenzo Vitale, a leading piano teacher and Professor at the ‘Santa Cecilia Music Academy’ in Rome, and composition with Bruno Mazzotta, Dean of the Conservatory of Music in Naples. Even before graduating with full honors and Summa Cum Laude at the Naples Conservatory (1976) he had already become assistant to Maestro Vitale and, due to his outstanding recital and didactic activity, he was appointed Associate Professor at the State Conservatory of Music of Matera in 1974, the youngest teacher in Italy at that time. In 1978 he was appointed Chair Professor of Piano at the ‘Domenico Cimarosa’ State Conservatory of Music.
Carlo Alessandro Lapegna has given hundreds of recitals and guest appearances with various orchestras. He has been regularly invited for recordings by the Italian Radio/TV networks both as a soloist, with orchestra and in chamber music groups.
