BIOGRAPHY
SIMONE LEITÃO
pianist
Simone Leitão is one of the greatest Brazilian pianists today, with a solid career spanning over 40 concerts annually in Brazil, Europe, the United States, and Latin America. She is known for her intense vitality and extensive technical ability, especially in her interpretations of Bach, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Villa-Lobos, and Ginastera.
Her entrepreneurial personality has gained notoriety in the last decade for her ability to create and direct major projects that foster the high performance of young Brazilian musicians and bring concert music nationwide. Simone is the founder and director of the Academia Jovem Concertante and the Rio Chamber Music Week (since 2012).
Leitão holds a PhD in Piano Performance and Music History from the University of Miami, a Master's in Performance from the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo, and a Bachelor's in Music Education from UniRio.
Simone Leitão was a student of Ivan Davis (a disciple of Horowitz) and Linda Bustani. The pianist from Minas Gerais maintains a busy schedule with annual European tours, frequent performances at Carnegie Hall, and collaborations as a soloist with major international orchestras such as the Miami Symphony, Filarmonica de Minas, and the Brazilian Orchestra of the Brazilian Society of Social Change (OSB).
Simone records for the American label MSR classics and has recorded for BBC Radio 3, Danish Radio, Southern California Classical Radio and Rádio MEC.
His national tour with the orchestra in 2013 was the subject of a documentary, directed by award-winning filmmaker Katia Lund, entitled: “Stop, Look, Listen.”
In 2024, Simone will be preparing another solo album and will embark on three national tours with an orchestra, as well as a European and American tour. The pianist believes that entrepreneurship and effective communication are vital for concert music to have a greater impact on today's society. Her digital presence is notable.
She maintains a strong YouTube channel where she brings classical music closer to people, a relevant presence on several platforms that have already generated more than 12 million views.
