Metanio Modern Italian pianist offering elegant piano solo performances

I require a well-maintained acoustic piano (grand or upright) or a high-quality digital piano with weighted keys if an acoustic piano is not available.
A stable performance area with a piano bench and one standard power socket nearby is sufficient.
The setup is minimal and suitable for intimate venues, private events and concert settings.

I usually ask for basic information about the type and condition of the piano, the performance space, and access times for setup.
Clear directions for loading in (if needed) and any sound level restrictions are helpful, especially for refined or residential venues.

I can perform acoustically when a suitable piano is available.
For digital piano setups, I can provide my own compact sound system or coordinate with the venue’s technical team.
Lighting is usually provided by the venue, but I am happy to adapt to existing setups.

Yes, I can provide background music playlists before or between sets if required, creating a smooth and coherent atmosphere aligned with the event’s mood.

One of the most meaningful experiences of my career was a solo piano concert at Bechstein Hall in London, a venue deeply connected to piano tradition and attentive listening.
I have also performed in international and non-traditional concert settings, including the Plaza Premium Lounge at Heathrow Airport (Terminal 4) during the Christmas period, where my piano music created atmosphere for an international audience, and for the opening event of Industrious in Berlin, accompanying the launch of a contemporary corporate venue.
These performances reflect my versatility as a pianist, moving between focused concert settings and refined international environments.

I particularly enjoy concerts, art events, private gatherings and refined venues where piano music plays an active role in shaping the atmosphere and guiding an emotional journey, rather than functioning purely as background entertainment.

I started performing as a pianist while completing my musical studies and gradually developed a strong focus on solo piano performance and contemporary repertoire.
Over time, this evolved into a personal artistic project centred on modern, cinematic and crossover piano music, leading me to perform regularly at concerts, cultural events, private venues and international settings across Europe.

I’ve been most influenced by contemporary pianists and composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Yiruma and Richard Clayderman, as well as by the cinematic language of Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone.
Rather than a single favourite song, I’m inspired by music that builds emotion gradually and allows the piano to create atmosphere and narrative over time.

I offer a contemporary solo piano experience focused on cinematic atmosphere and emotional flow.
My performances are designed to evolve naturally, starting from intimate moments and building towards more dynamic and expressive sections, creating an immersive musical journey.

I usually arrive 60–90 minutes before the performance to set up and check the piano and sound.
Performances are typically structured in one or two sets of 45–60 minutes, depending on the event.
I’m happy to adapt timing and format to suit the flow of the evening.

Yes, I’m happy to perform outdoors provided there is appropriate cover, a stable and level surface, and protection for the instrument.
Access to power nearby is required if a digital piano or amplification is used.

I usually perform from a curated repertoire suited to the event, but I’m happy to discuss preferences in advance.
Specific requests can be accommodated when they fit the style and atmosphere of the performance.

Previous clients often describe my performances as elegant, cinematic and emotionally engaging, highlighting the ability to create a gradual emotional flow that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering the event.
