About Swiss pianist Fabrizio Chiovetta: After winning an impressive range of prizes during the first years of his career, has issued a series of critically acclaimed recordings. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, on December 9, 1976. Enrolling at the Superior Conservatory of Geneva, he majored in piano and music theory but also took courses in Italian literature, mathematics, musicology, and the Latin language before settling on the piano as a career.
Winning the city of Geneva’s Adolphe Neumann Prize, Chiovetta went on for further study at the Tibor Varga Academy in the Swiss city of Sion, graduating with highest honors in 2003. He has also studied with Paul Badura-Skoda and John Perry, focusing on historical Viennese instruments as well as works for the modern piano.
