Giovanni De Cecco graduated in Piano from Venice Conservatory of Music and in Philosophy from the “Ca’ Foscari” University of Venice.

In Romania he made some ethnomusicological researches on Transylvanian music following Bela Bartók’s footsteps; he studied with gypsy bands and learned from country folk musicians many of the themes which he loves to reinterpret in concert halls. He performed in the Presidential Palace in Bucharest; in 2004 at the Teatro dell’Opera, Rome; in Vienna for the entrance of Romania into the European Union; in Japan for the international Aichi Expo in June 2005 and in Nagoya and Tokyo in September 2005. More recently he performed in other important concerts in the Czech Republic (Reduta Jazz Club in Prague), in Sweden (Berwaldhallen in Stockholm), in Turkey (Istanbul Jazz Center, Nardis jazz club, Galata Dernegi), and in Italian Cultural Institutes (Wolfsburg, Bucharest, Stockholm).

In 2008 he recorded the album “Traditional music from Romania” with the Hungarian violinist Leonardo Jeszensky. He played and presented this album in the most important international klezmer festivals, among which “klezMORE”2008 (Vienna, Austria), Internationales Furth Klezmer Festival 2009 (Furth, Germany), Ot Templom Fesztival (Gyor, Hungary).

For years he has been holding seminaries and masterclasses in many Universities (Udine and Venice in Italy, Iasi in Romania), Cultural Institutes (Romanian Institute in Venice, Romanian Embassy in Prague, Italian Cultural Centre in Cluj Napoca Romania), and more recently in Thailand, Bangkok (Silpakorn University, Assumption University, Yamaha Ratchadapisek), Cambodia, Phnom Penh (MetaHouse) and Iran (Tehran Conservatory).

In October 2014 he recorded the album “Giovanni De Cecco plays Wagner & Liszt”.

He is also a passionate player of historical keyboards; he plays a copy of a wonderful Silberman clavichord dated 1775.

In autumn a clavichord album of Bach-Vivaldi concertos will be on sale.
