Duo Savigni

Composed of two sisters, Duo Savigni has been dedicated to studying 19th-century repertoire on original instruments since 2011. They each started their musical training at a young age and pursued their musical studies as a duo chamber ensemble and solo performers.
Laura graduated in piano from the “Arrigo Boito” Conservatory in Parma; she continued her studies at the “G. Puccini” of Gallarate (VA) under the guidance of Maestro Alberto Miodini. In 2016, she obtained her fortepiano master’s degree with honours at the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart with Maestra Stefania Neonato.
Enrica graduated in classical guitar with high honours at the “Arrigo Boito” Conservatory in Parma under the guidance of Maestro Walter Pezzali. She graduated in 2014 in Clarinet with Maestro Roberto Saltini. Between 2011 and 2014, she specialized in repertoire and performance practice of 19th-century guitar at the “Claudio Abbado Civic School of Music” in Milan under the guidance of the Maccari-Pugliese Duo. In 2021, she obtained a Master in Early Music from the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Brussels.
Their first CD, “Duo Savigni: Giuliani, Moscheles & Mertz”, was released in 2019 under the “Movimento Classical” label. It was published in digital format in the January issue of “Amadeus” Magazine, together with an interview. In 2020, they debuted their second album, “Für Beethoven: Music for Guitar and Fortepiano Inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven”, released by MP Editions.
The instruments used by Duo Savigni are originals of the period as well as historical copies: Laura plays a ‘Clementi & Company’ square piano (c.1820), as well as an Anton Walter 1805 historical copy, constructed by Paul McNulty; Enrica plays an ‘Hijos de González’ guitar (Madrid) circa 1860-1870, a Neapolitan guitar by Pasquale Vinaccia 1828, as well as a Viennese guitar by Anton Stauffer dated 1832.
Laura and Enrica perform both as a duo and as soloists throughout Italy, as well as in Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom.
