Pietro Roffi – accordion

Pietro Roffi carries out an intense concert activity, which has led him to perform, as a soloist, in chamber ensembles and with symphony orchestras, in hundreds of concerts on the five continents, with a repertoire that ranges from classical to tango, from his compositions to film music.
On the occasion of Ennio Morricone’s ninetieth birthday, he made his debut as a soloist with the Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia conducted by Carlo Rizzari, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, interpreting a new composition written by the Oscar winner Dario Marianelli for this special occasion.
In 2022 he made his debut with the Odeion String Quartet in South Africa, performing in theaters in some of the major cities of the country with his unpublished arrangement of Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for accordion and string quartet.
On the occasion of the centenary of Astor Piazzolla’s birth, in 2021, he toured Italy with the project “Tutto Tango #piazzolla100” in duo with pianist Alessandro Stella.
His music is regularly broadcast by major European radio stations and performed in important concert halls. Recently some of his compositions for accordion and string quintet have been performed at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, at the Munich Philharmonic and at the Tonhalle in Zurich.
