Micol Pisanu - soprano

Micol Pisanu was born in Nuoro in 1995. From a very young age, she began vocal training under the guidance of her parents, both opera singers and choir conductors, Maria Bonaria Monne and Sandro Pisanu. At the age of eleven she started studying the violin, and from 2010 she continued her studies with Marco Ligas at the “Palestrina” Conservatory in Cagliari. In 2015 she pursued violin studies with Claudio Marzorati at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan and enrolled in the two-year Advanced Programme in Baroque violin with Renata Spotti.
In 2024 she obtained the Diploma of Advanced Specialization in Singing with a score of 10/10, studying with Sara Mingardo at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, while in 2021 she completed her Master’s Degree in Renaissance and Baroque Singing under Anna Aurigi with highest honors at the Milan Conservatory.
In 2022 she further specialized in Baroque singing with Sonia Prina at the Accademia dell’Opera in Verona and also attended the three-year programme in choral conducting and composition at the Milan Conservatory.

In 2021 she was a finalist in the International Sacred Music Competition in Rome. In 2022 she won four awards: second prize at the International Baroque Singing Competition “Caffarelli” in Bitonto (Bari); the National Arts Prize in the category “Early Music Solo Singers”; the “Special Prize for Best Interpretation in German” at the San Colombano International Competition in Piacenza (sacred music section); and she was a finalist at the Francesco Provenzale International Baroque Singing Competition in Naples.

Micol Pisanu has attended numerous masterclasses in Baroque singing with Marinella Pennicchi, Sonia Prina, Eva Kiss, Fernando Cordeiro Opa, and Jérôme Correas; in opera singing with Barbara Frittoli and Elisabetta Scano; in violin with Chiara Banchini, Cristiano Rossi, Guglielmo de Stasio, and Ermanno Molinaro; and in harpsichord with George Kiss.

She has performed in numerous concerts throughout Italy, particularly in Milan, where in 2018 she made her world-premiere debut in the role of the Bride, the protagonist of Santo Alessio, an oratorio by Camilla De’ Rossi, a late-17th-century composer. She also performed the role of Elisetta in Domenico Cimarosa’s opera Il Matrimonio Segreto. Since 2017 she has collaborated as soprano and vocal coach with the choir Chanson d’Aube of Milan, directed by Alberto Odone, performing previously unpublished works by Francesco Durante, transcribed and preserved in the Noseda Archive of the Milan Conservatory. She has collaborated with artists such as lutenist Francesca Torelli; harpsichordists Chiara Tiboni, Luigi Marzola, and Marius Bartoccini; conductor Jordi Bernàcer; and tenor and conductor Mirko Guadagnini.

In 2020 she published with FEDERCORI a transcription of the duet Ahi che in sentirlo io moro by Benedetto Marcello in two versions, and in 2021 she published, for the same publisher, the modern-notation transcription of Francesca Caccini’s Canzonette.

Micol Pisanu is also active as a choir conductor, leading the women’s choir Priamo Gallisay in Nuoro and the youth choir Sol-Cantando in Melzo (MI). She currently teaches violin and singing at the Ottavanota music school in Milan and at the Tinina Amadei school in Gessate (MI).
