player Daniele Roccato, M.T. has recently started the TrisTango, which plays Piazzolla's repertoire in a new version, influenced by various musical genres contamination), and to collaborate with important conductors such as Rizzi, Pidò, Hogwood, Hacker, etc. He is often invited to take part
in the jury of prestigious international competitions of piano and chamber-music, in quality of Honorary member of the Accademia Veneta di Arti e Scienze. He is personally invited to the Universitè de S. Esprit of Beirut (where he is given a chair as "Professeur invitè"), to the Victorian
College of the Arts of Melbourne in Australia, where he gives Master Classes and a series of concerts which are telecast. He attends Lyudmill Descev’s courses and graduates as a conductor (with honourable mention) in 1993 at the Benvenuti Academy of Conegliano Veneto. He assist M.
de Bernardt and M. Kovatchev; his dèbut as a conductor is received with enthusiastic consents.
In the course of his career Marco Tezza has collaborated both as a soloist and a conductor with several chamber and sinphonic orchestras such as: Pedrollo Chamber Orchestra, the Florence Sinphonyetta, the I Fiati della Scala, the Accademia Bizantina, the Philarmonic Orchestra of Udine, the

the Praga Symphony Orchestra and several more ones.
Mr. Tezza founds the Stravinskij Chamber Orchestra, which he still conducts, in 1994 and is invited to some important festivals and international tournèes (Vivaldi Festival in Venice 1994, Gardaland Festival 1995, Lebanon 1995, Brazil 1997 and 1998). During the next season he will be committed
in a new Brazilian and Argentinan tour (as the conductor of the Stravinskij Chamber Orchestra and both as soloist and conductor of Amazonic Simphony Orchestra), in a series of recitals and piano Master-Classes in Australia and Argentina and in the recording of two new CDs.
He has recorded LPs and CDs for Balkanton, Klingsor, AS disc and three albums for our label, OnClassical.
I could rarely listen to a Schumann's piece played in such a profond and authentic way by a so young pianist.
Tatiana Nikolaieva
Tezza posesses an extraordinary technical preparation which enables him to achieve the perfect sound which is a feat so rarely found in young italian pianists. For one so young he also posesses a dramatic vision of music giving it the sensation of a cosmic
tragedy in the fight between good and evil.
Piero Rattalino “Piano Time”
I consider Marco Tezza one of the most brilliant young Italian pianists of our times. His talent is manifested in his capacity to make a music so profound illustrating a rich life and a search for perfection so intense.
