‘…one gets the impression that the cellist lives only in her performance. She sings the second theme with warmth and the beginning of the development has such an interpretative depth that it surprises her as the fruit of a young interpreter...’ T. Schacher, Schweizer Musikzeitung

Miriam Prandi, thanks to a musical talent of rare communication and versatility, stands out with her interpretations as an exceptional personality capable of tackling the solo and chamber repertoire not only as a cellist but also as a pianist.

In January 2014 she was awarded the overall First Prize at the Rahn Musikpreis in Zurich by a jury of important musicians chaired by the cellist Sol Gabetta, making her debut at the Tonhalle in Zurich with the Dvorak Concerto. Among the numerous debuts as a soloist, Miriam Prandi performed at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan under the direction of Vladimir Fedoseyev, in 2023 with the National Orchestra of the Polish Radio NOSPR in Katowice under the direction of Michele Spotti, and in 2024 with MusicAeterna under the direction of Teodor Currentzis in the European Tour in Madrid Auditorium Nacional, in Valencia at Palau de la Musica, at the Verdi Festival at Teatro Regio in Parma and at the Teatro Galli for the Sagra Malatestiana. Miriam Prandi was touring as well with Dvorak Cello Concerto and Toscanini Orchestra under the baton of Andrey Boreyko in Italy substituting last minute the cellist Misha Maisky in November 2024.

Ms Prandi has performed with numerous orchestras including: Gstaad Festival Orchestra under the direction of Neeme Järvi, Haydn Orchestra directed by Michele Mariotti, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Berner Symphonieorchester, Orchestra dell'Arena di Verona etc..

Her interest in modern and contemporary music pushed her to tackle important works such as the Sonata for cello solo by Sândor Veress, the Sacher Variations by Dutilleux, the compositions of G. Sollima, R. Shchedrin and the Sonata by Fazil Say, the latter presented in its Italian premiere at the Amici della musica in Lucca. She was also a guest, at the behest of Stefano Bollani, in the television show 'Via dei Matti' in prime time on Rai 1. Cellist of the Delian Quartett from 2016 to 2018, she has been a regular guest at important musical centers such as the Berliner Philharmonie, the Konzerthaus Berlin and the Konzerthaus Vienna, the Rheingau Musik Festival. In 2018 the CD was released by Oehms Classics with the complete recording of Bach's Art of Fugue recorded at Deutschlandfunk in Cologne.

In 2020 the Italian magazine Suonare News published the live recording of the concert held at the Sala Verdi in Torino featuring Miriam Prandi as a soloist with Haydn C Major Cello Concerto and Mozart K 414 Piano Concerto. Most recently the CD of the Dvorak concert broadcast live on radio with the National Orchestra of Polish Radio and directed by Michele Spotti was released for the Amadeus magazine.

Miriam Prandi studied with Antonio Meneses, Marianne Chen and Natalia Gutman. She is also strongly influenced by her studies with Ivan Monighetti, and has played in masterclasses for Martin Löhr, David Geringas, Frans Helmerson, Gary Hoffman. Miriam Prandi performs on a cello by Giovanni Grancino (Milan, 1712), a generous loan from Fondazione Pro Canale Onlus.
