Compared in a row with the pianists Nelson Freire, Martha Argerich, Claudio Arrau, Sviatoslav Richter and Vladimir Horowitz, Brazilian pianist FABIO MARTINO came to international attention winning the first prize of the most important competition in Latin America, the BNDES International Piano Competition with a prize of 48,000 US$. He doesn’t only draw in the audience with his virtuoso playing; he also thrills them with his South American charm. The piano shooting star is viewed as a cheeky but at the same time open challenger on the international pianist scene. He wears his hand-tied bow tie like a trademark. As an international soloist Fabio Martino has played not only the well-known piano concertos by Prokofjew, Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann, Bartók and many others, but also the rare played works by Villa-Lobos, Medtner, Guarnieri or Mignone, with equally success and enthusiasm from the audience. During the lockdown, Fabio Martino started his own project. Under the title “Fabio Martino @ HOME” he organized livestream concerts every week with invited artists and broadcasted it from his home. Whether with singers, flute, clarinet, bassoon, strings, as a duo or trio, he proved his joy, versatility and enthusiasm for chamber music every time and reached his audiences worldwide even in difficult times. All recordings and videos can be accessed at any time on his YouTube Channel.
