A pianist, improviser, performer and composer, his career has been marked by numerous encounters with artists from all walks of life. A curious musician who is constantly exploring new horizons, Alvise Sivinia is constantly renewing his relationship with the instrument, having spent several years experimenting with its sonic and physical paradoxes and limitations.
He trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris under Alain Planès and Emmanuel Strosser. There he made numerous connections that have enriched his music. Committed to creative work, he regularly collaborates with composers and has been a member of ONCEIM since its inception. In 2019, he premiered Georgia Spiropoulos’s solo piece Eror (the pianist) in Athens, produced by the Onassis Foundation and IRCAM, in which improvisation, performance and interpretation merge. Alvise works regularly in theatre as a composer, actor and stage musician, as in Clara Chabalier’s play La Défense devant les Survivants, premiered in June 2022 at the Comédie de Reims. In 2023, he composed the music and shared the stage with Laurent Poitrenaux and Valérie Dashwood in a play by Ludovic Lagarde inspired by Olivier Cadiot’s book Médecine Générale; premiered at the MC93, the play ran at the Théâtre des Abesses in May 2025.
As a resident at the Villa Medici during the 2016/2017 season in the field of performance art, he explored the relationship between movement and sound in greater depth. He then founded his own company, with which he created the solo piece Ersilia, for one performer and five piano frames. The performer’s entire body, acting as a bow, plays the device-instrument invented for the piece. During the 2020–21 season, Alvise created Le Hurle, a multidisciplinary science-fiction piece questioning the concept of sound archives. Finally, in May 2022, he created MICROGRAPHIA, a four-hand piano piece with Frédéric Blondy inspired by a book on experimental cartography, Terra Forma. The company is currently developing, in mon for intérieur, a series of choreographers’ solos on the theme of secrecy, featuring a sound installation based on the repurposing of a tape recorder.
