Pianist Marco Fatichenti is an internationally acclaimed performer and recording artist who has appeared in some of the most prestigious venues across Europe and the United States. At the same time, he continues to be a much sought after pedagogue for his kind, consider and dyn amic approach to teaching.


He has received a Doctorate from King's College London for his research on early-twentieth-century performance practices, with a particular interest in the aesthetic shifts taking place in Spain during the Civil War.


Described by Hilary Finch in The Times as 'none other than Chopin incarnate', he was hailed by the International Record Review for offering 'a different and refreshing slant on Brahms from a vantage point south of the Alps', and praised by International Piano for 'marrying Romantic turbulence with Classical order'.


His performances include broadcasts by the Spanish RTVE, Irish RTE, Polskie Radio, and several BBC appearances.

Among his recent highlights are performances at London's Wigmore Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall, Birmingham's Symphony Hall, Dublin's Concert Hall, Madrid's Auditorio Nacional, Barcelona's Auditori, and Valencia's iconic Palau de la Musica. Also invited by the Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs to perform at the International EXPO in Zaragoza, Spain.
