Alison Bruce Cerutti is a pianist based in Northfield, Vermont, who frequently performs as a soloist and chamber musician throughout Vermont and Canada. She studied with Louis Moyse for eight years and accompanied his flute master classes in Vermont and France.

Alison has appeared as a soloist with the Norwich University Band Company, the Burlington Civic Symphony Orchestra, and often with the Vermont Philharmonic, including an upcoming performance of Ravel’s Concerto in G in the spring of 2025.

Since 2004, Alison has performed with her friend and colleague, violist Elizabeth Reid as the Cerutti-Reid Duo. She can be heard on Elizabeth Reid’s new album of viola works by David Jaeger, titled Conjuring. Cerutti and Reid are also founding members of Arioso and the Northern Third Piano Quartet.

As one of Vermont’s leading collaborative pianists, Alison has also performed with the Mad River Chorale, the Winooski Valley Festival, All-State Music Festival, the Unadilla Theatre, Music-COMP, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Counterpoint, and TURNmusic, for Women of Aeronautics and in the 2015 production of A Fleeting Animal. In addition to the album Conjuring she appears in the soundtrack of Bess O’Brien’s documentary “All of Me,” playing the music of Erik Nielsen. She teaches students of all ages at her home in Northfield, where she lives with her musical family and two very critical cats.

“Cerutti...proved an ideal interpreter. Employing her substantial technique, she colored Nielsen’s lines and evoked his characters with a naturalness that gave her performance the narrative feeling of storytelling. It was a substantial and rewarding performance of truly compelling music.” Jim Lowe, Times Argus
