Caio Pagano is an intemationally renowned concert pianist, teacher and scholar.
He is a distinguished professor of piano at Arizona State University since 1986 having eamed the
honor of Regent Professor of Piano at this institution. He is the recipient of many piano performance
awards in Europe and in his native country, Brazil.
Pagano has performed throughout four continents in more than 600 public performances as recital
soloist, chamber nusician and as soloist with orchestras. He has premiered 24 works in concert halls
worldwide, l6 of these were works written and dedicated to him by the composers, including several
concertos for piano and orchestra. He has also recorded several of these works. Pagano was the first
pianist to perform the complete works of Schoenberg in several capitals of the world.

Among the remarkable premieres was the performance of Pousseur's Apostrophe, along with
Beethoven's Diabelli variations in Washington D.C. and New York City, which received following
reviews: "The Pousseur was transcendent, and Beethoven was absolutely first-class, simultaneously
idiomatic and original"(The New York Times).
"I started jotting comments after each variation, but I abandoned that as I realized I was being
presented with a conception that was an incandescent entity"(the Washington Post).
Pagano, who is regularly featured on radio including recent highlights on National Public Radio USA,
has regularly appeared in the BBC in London, Norddeutsche Rundfunk in Germany, Voice of America
in Washington D.C., Radio llilversum in Holland, Radio de la Suisse Romande in Switzerland and
National Broadcasting in Portugal to name just a few.
As Professor at the University of Sflo Paulo, Brazil, Caio created the International Biennial of Music,
which attracted many internationally acclaimed artists who collaborated with him (including Saschko
Gawriloff, Cristof Caskel, Raphael Hillyer, Werner Taube, Henry Schuman)' He also toured with
Pierre Fournier, Janos Starker, Thomas Friedli, Szymon Goldberg, Albor Rosenfeld, the St.Petersburg
Quartet, Maria Joio Pires, Gerard Causs6 and the Jacques Thibaud Trio. Caio has been a featured artist
at the Miami New World Festival, the Washington Interamerican Fest, the Grenoble Festival, the
Megbve Festival, the Montpellier Festival and many others'
In partnership with Maria Jo6o Pires, Pagano created the Centre for Studies of the Afis in Portugal
(www.belgais.nct)
Summit, Soundset, and Glissando labels publish his acclaimed recordings. His latest CD, Music for
Children by Heitor Villa-Lobos has received rave reviews which have included "CD of the month" by
BBC Music Magazine, and other magnificent reviews on Gramophone, CD Compact (Spain) and
Fanfare (USA).

Caio Pagano combines a profound knowledge of the Arts, Literature and Music, which characterizes
his interpretations as authoritative and unique. His transcendent technique is accompanied by
exuberant lyricism, intellect and a polished sense of style. The Washington Post's reviewer, Joseph
Mclellan, may have summed it up the best: "Pagano is such a fine performer that any opportunity to
hear him should be seized" Pagano is an honorable Steinway Artist.
