“…a master of romantic music…” (Neue Westfälische Zeitung)
Italian pianist Gabriele Leporatti began his music studies at the age of six and graduated “Magna cum Laude” from the “Luigi Cherubini” Conservatory in Florence at the age of nineteen. He continued then his musical education under the guide of world- renowned pianists like Joaquín Achúcarro at SMU in Dallas, Fabio Bidini, Jerome Rose and Maria Tipo.
Currently based in Germany, his career has brought him to perform in Italy, Turkey, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Switzerland, Austria, South Africa, USA and China, while some of his performances and recordings were broadcasted by medias like SAFm (South Africa), RBB Kulturradio (Germany) and Raitre (Italy). In 2009 he made his New York City debut recital at the prestigious “International Keyboard Institute and Festival”.
Engagements for 2011/12 season will feature appearances in concerts throughout Germany, China and USA, also coming back to the International Keyboard Institute & Festival in New York City to teach and perform.
