Winner of numerous awards including first prize at the 2010 BNDES International Piano Competition “Guiomar Novaes” in Rio de Janeiro, twenty-two-year-old Fabio Martino is destined to have a major international career following the footsteps of Nelson Freire, Arnaldo Cohen, and José Feghali as one of today’s most gifted Brazilian pianists. Praised for his “decisive creative force” and “vigor and sparkle in the moments of virtuosity” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany), this concert marks his American recital debut.
