Elena Corni - Biography


Elena Corni studied harp at the Civic School in Rozzano under Professor Fiorella Bonetti and received her diploma in 1993 at the Conservatory of Music "G. Verdi" in Turin. She still maintains a working relationship with this teacher.

She attended the Chigiana Academy, perfecting her technique with Professor Susanna Mildonian and took part in various courses held by Maestro Fabrice Pierre, Maestro David Watkins, Professor Vassilla Briano and Professor Luisa Prandina.

Since 1989 she has participated in many competitions, winning prizes and acclaim in both national and international arenas.

She has performed chamber music concertos for the Musical Youth of Italy and has taken part in the "Cantiere Internazionale" in Montepulciano and the Modern Music Festival in Vienna with the "Tactus Ensemble" directed by Maestro Renaro Rivolta.

At a very young age she began collaborating with Vienna's Gustav Malher orchestra. This has developed into a wide range of performances as a soloist, part of a duet or as a member of a chamber group, including collaborations with the "Guido Cantelli" Orchestra of Milan, The Toulon Theatre Orchestra, The Treviso Community Theatre Orchestra, the Bologne Community Theatre Orchestra as well as the world famous "La Scala" of Milan.

Since 1998 she has played with the RAI's National Symphony Orchestra based in Turin, sometimes as 1st harp and on a regular basis as 1st harp with the Regio Theatre Orchestra of Turin.

Recently she has given a recital at the XXXVI Edition of the All Nations Festival of Città di Castello (Perugia).
