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, considerate and dynamic approach to teaching. He is now based in Tokyo, Japan, where he founded the ‘International Piano Academy by MF’, recruiting and preparing talented pianists for their future in the musical profession.

Marco 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.

Marco’s critically acclaimed solo albums include music by Brahms, Stravinsky, Debussy, and Chopin. 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’.

Active both as recitalist and chamber musician, Marco is continually committed to promoting music and its societal value among diverse audiences.
