Bio

Andrea Goretti, trained in both classical and jazz piano, has developed a personal musical language that emerges from the intersection of these two traditions and moves across original composition, improvisation, and interdisciplinary exploration. Pianist, composer, and improviser, he is active across Italy and Europe, with a strong focus on solo piano and on the relationship between sound, silence, and image.

In his solo piano work, he develops a language that integrates improvisation and composition, balancing harmonic structure with expressive freedom. His research focuses on the essential nature of sound, on deep listening and on silence as a structural elements of musical discourse.

Alongside his solo activity, he is involved in collaborative projects within the European jazz and improvisation scene. These include a duo with New York vocalist Sivan Arbel, with whom he recorded the album Bazrima, and the Unusual Trio with Austrian musicians Lisa Hofmaninger and Lukas Aichinger, a bass-less formation exploring a chamber-like approach to interplay and real-time composition.

His artistic activity also extends to film music and interdisciplinary projects. In particular, he works on live silent film soundtracking, developing an approach that combines performance tradition with contemporary experimentation. Notable appearances include the Pordenone Silent Film Festival (2023) and Istanbul Silent Film Days (2026).

He has performed at festivals and venues including Porgy & Bess – Wien, MetJazz (Prato), Parma Frontiere Jazz, Monk Jazz Club (Catania), Piano City Milano, Spring Jazz Sprint Cakovec (Croazia), Trame Sonore Chamber Music Festival, Fara Music Festival, Tatum Art (Palermo), Il Jazz Italiano per le Terre del Sisma, Piano Lab, Sarah’s Jazz Club (Cipro), ZWE Jazzclub (Vienna), Miles Smiles (Vienna), Oooh Festival (Londra / Amsterdam / Tel Aviv), and Arsenale Jazz Club.
