Circolo Cameristico Piemontese

The Circolo Cameristico Piemontese was founded in 1972 through the initiative of three musicians: Mario Bricarello, Bruno De Rosa, and Giorgio Giacomelli. It immediately embarked on a vigorous schedule of activities, quickly achieving success with both audiences and critics. With a core ensemble comprising a string quintet and a wind quintet—augmented by the piano—the group explored a vast repertoire ranging from Antonio Vivaldi’s concertos for five instruments and W. A. ​​Mozart’s quartets to L. van Beethoven’s septet.

The C.C.P. has performed as a guest of major musical organizations across Italy and Europe. By expanding its ensemble size, the association has organized significant orchestral events—focusing on the chamber orchestra repertoire—such as festivals dedicated to J. S. Bach featuring the *Brandenburg Concertos*, *Orchestral Suites*, *The Art of Fugue*, and *The Musical Offering*. During the 1980s and 1990s, the group collaborated with internationally renowned conductors such as Massimo Bruni, Bruno Martinotti, Alberto Peyretti, Sergio Penazzi, Riccardo Chailly, Ruggero Maghini, and Angelo Ephrikian.

In 1998, the C.C.P. reorganized its leadership structure, established its headquarters in Chieri, and resumed its organizational activities; to date, it has promoted eleven concert seasons and 23 editions of the International Competition for Young Performers.
