Octavio Brunetti

Octavio Brunetti was a pianist, arranger and composer from Argentina, and one of the world’s most prominent champions of Argentina’s tango music in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
From early childhood, Brunetti was trained in classical piano, and before he even finished his studies at the National School of Music he was already playing in concerts discovering his passion for the music from his country.
In 2002, he was named conductor at the Provincial Orchestra of Popular Music in Cordoba. After an extensive European Tour he visited the US, and in his first participation of the International Tango Competition in New York he took first price in both categories: Best Solo Pianist and Best Duo.
His recordings include “Saludos” with Domingo Federico, “Tierra y Asfalto” with his own Duo, “Inquietudes” with Omar Torres Quintet, “Soledad” with Yo-Yo Ma, and “Desde studios a tangos” with violinist Elmira Darvarova.
