Born in Lisbon in 1968, ARTUR PIZARRO gave his first public performance aged three and made his television début aged four. He was introduced to the piano by his grandmother, pianist Berta da Nóbrega, and her duo partner, Campos Coelho, a student of Vianna da Motta, Ricardo Viñes and Isidor Philipp. Artur studied with Sequeira Costa, who had been a student of Mark Hamburg, Edwin Fischer, Marguerite Long and Jacques Février. This distinguished lineage immersed Artur in the tradition of the ‘Golden Age’ of pianism, and in both German and French piano schools and repertoire. Artur studied with Jorge Moyano in Lisbon, and in Paris worked with Aldo Ciccolini, Géry Moutier and Bruno Rigutto. He won first prizes in the 1987 Vianna da Motta Competition, the 1988 Greater Palm Beach Symphony Competition, and at the 1990 Leeds International Pianoforte Competition.

Artur performs internationally in recital, chamber music and with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, including Sir Simon Rattle, Philippe Entremont, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Sir Andrew Davis, Esa- Pekka Salonen, Yuri Temirkanov, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Ilan Volkov, Franz Welser-Most, Tugan Sokhiev, Yakov Kreizberg, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Libor Pešek, Vladimir Jurowski, Ion Marin, John Wilson and the late Sir Charles Mackerras. Artur has received awards from his native Portugal for services to classical music and culture, including the Portuguese Press Award, the Portuguese Society of Authors award, the Medal of Culture of the City of Funchal, and the Medal of Cultural Merit from the Portuguese Government. He has also been awarded the Albéniz Medal in Spain.
