Available to hire
I’m Francesco Benini, a jazz pianist and musician with a Master in piano jazz from Conservatorio A. Pedrollo (Vicenza) and a Bachelor from Conservatorio F.A. Bonporti (Trento). I perform as a pianist, arranger, and keyboardist, and I teach piano at several schools while recording and collaborating with ensembles, orchestras, and projects.
I’m a hi-fi enthusiast who loves listening to a wide range of music, from classical to rock, with a particular love for early jazz. I also enjoy movies, outdoor activities (tennis, skiing, sailing, fishing), and I have a passion for cars and motorsports, especially rally racing. I love traveling to new places and trying new experiences that can enrich me.
