Biography — Giulia Rimonda

Born in Turin in 2002, Giulia made her debut in 2023 at the Amphitheatre Richelieu in Paris and at the Royal Opera House in Muscat. Highlights of the 2024-2025 season include a tour with the Nord Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra della Toscana, her debut in Paris at the Sorbonne's Grand Amphitheatre with Sorbonne University Orchestra (COSU), recitals at the Quirinale - live on Rai Radio 3 - and at the Teatro dei Rozzi in Siena.

Giulia is the winner of numerous awards. She was artist in residence at the Società dei Concerti in Milan, won the Giovanna Maniezzo prize and has been represented by Sorbonne University in Paris since November 2022.

“I first met Giulia Rimonda in Turin when she was 16 years old. She made a very strong impression playing the Tchaikovsky concerto in a manner well beyond her years. Since then I have had the chance to listen to and work with Giulia on many occasions and I remain convinced that she will enjoy a rich and fruitful life in and with music. Giulia has a curious and inquisitive nature as well as great discipline and devotion to her instrument.”
