Isaia is also dedicated to contemporary music, having collaborated with several composers in the premiere performances of their works.
Giovanni Bertolazzi is an Italian pianist born in Padua.

In their concert “Quadri sonori“, Isaia and Bertolazzi present a program of works by Beethoven, Shostakovich, and Brahms. The pieces selected showcase the range of emotions and musical colors that the cello and piano can evoke together, from the fiery passion of Beethoven’s Sonata No. 3 in A Major to the melancholic introspection of Shostakovich’s Sonata in D Minor. The collaboration with the cultural association “Musica con le ali” highlights the artists’ commitment to bringing music to new audiences and promoting cultural exchange through music.
