Floriana Provenzano (1998) is an Italian composer from South Italy. Her music often originates from sound images and visual or physical sensations linked to her places of origin, unfolding into explorations of texture, brightness, and timbre. Her research currently focuses on building a sound identity that incorporates the sonic characteristics of the folk music and the traditional instruments of her region (Salento, South Italy) into a contemporary musical language, exploring microtonality, timbral research and the use of unconventional objects and instruments.

Her works have been performed by ensembles and soloists such as Ensemble Suono Giallo, mdi ensemble, Duo Dubois, zone expérimentale, Blaurenz Duo, BlackBox Ensemble, Ensemble Sillages, Paolo Fumagalli, Manuel Teles and Giulia Zaniboni, and presented at international festivals including Trame Sonore (Mantua, IT), Sound of Wander (mdi concerts season in Milan, IT), Musikàmera (Venice, IT), Udine Classica (IT), Trieste Prima (IT), Festival delle Nazioni (Città di Castello, IT), impuls (AT), MATA (founded by Philip Glass, New York), IntAct (TH), Mixtur (ES), Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik (AT), Ramificazioni (Lugano, CH), among others.

She initially studied classical piano performance, earning both a Bachelor and a Master degree in Lecce in piano performance, attending also the post-graduate course in Andrea Lucchesini’s class in Fiesole. In the meanwhile, she started to study composition and gained a Bachelor degree at the Conservatory of Mantua with the highest marks and honors, where she is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in composition, under the guidance of Zeno Baldi, taking also courses with Maurizio Azzan.
