Internationally, she has performed in Italy, with appearances in Brescia, Perugia, and Cassino. In 2022, she gave a solo recital at the C. Bechstein Centre in Manchester and was invited to perform Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto with the RNCM Orchestra.
In 2023, Chiara performed selections from the Grieg Concerto in Perugia under the direction of Marius Stravinsky as part of Music Fest Perugia, and again in Brescia after winning the concerto class at the Talent Summer Course Festival. She also performed a recital at Teatro Manzoni in Cassino, Italy, which was broadcast on Radio Cassino. In 2024, she was a semi-finalist in the BBC Young Classical Musician of the Year, with her performance broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland, and a finalist in the Mark Ray Recital Prize at the Royal Northern College of Music. That August, she held a solo show at Stockbridge Parish Church during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, presenting a unique programme combining classical and pop repertoire.
