Olga Albasini owns a poetic palette of sounds and a wide dynamic range. Her inspired piano playing has made her an extremely appreciated soloist and chamber musician.
Native from Spain, Ms. Albasini has performed in concert halls around Germany, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Holland and Brazil.
Her most significant performances include a solo appearance with St. Eriks Orchestra playing Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 in Stockholm, Sweden. Her German tour of 2022, where she played solo repertoire in the cities of Dresden, Göttingen and Berlin. And her participation in the XI Rio International Chamber Music Week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she performed Spanish chamber music.
Due to Olga's unusual ability for genuine empathy and high-level virtuoso capacity, she has been awarded in competitions like "Entre Cuerdas y Metales" 2012 Cartagena, Spain and "Piana del Cavaliere" 2018 in Carsoli, Italy. She has also obtained scholarships from the German Foundation “Ad Infinitum” and the Swedish Masonry.
