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 of her region (Salento, South Italy) into a contemporary musical language, exploring microtonality and timbral research.
Her works have been performed by ensembles and soloists such as zone expérimentale, Blaurenz Duo, BlackBox Ensemble, Ensemble Sillages, Ensemble Suono Giallo, Duo Dubois, mdi ensemble, Manuel Teles and Giulia Zaniboni, and presented at international festivals including impuls (AT), MATA (NY), IntAct (TH), Mixtur (ES), Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik (AT), Trame Sonore (Mantua, IT), Sound of Wander (Milan, IT), Musikàmera (Venice, IT), Ramificazioni (Lugano, CH), among others. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in composition at the Conservatory of Mantua, under the guidance of Zeno Baldi, taking also courses with Maurizio Azzan.
Among her latest collaborations there will be a new piece for ensemble Suono Giallo, presented at the Festival delle Nazioni (Città di Castello, PR) on August 2026, a new project with the ensemble Proxima Centauri, premiered at the MAD Festival in Bordeaux (FR) on November 2026, along with a new project in collaboration with Carlo Sampaolesi and Pietro Elia Barcellona (Duo Aria).
