Alessio Masi is acclaimed for his expressive playing and exceptional interpretative depth.

He was the winner of the First Absolute Prize at the “Hermès for Talents” Competition, which awarded him a three-year sponsorship from Hermès Italia.

He has performed across Europe and the U.S. in venues such as Klavierhaus (New York), Museo Teatrale alla Scala (Milan), Foyer del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and Teatro Niccolini (Florence), Sale Apollinee del Teatro La Fenice and Palazzo Albrizzi (Venice), Steinway Hall (London), Schimmel Hall (Braunschweig), Invernadero de Arganzuela (Madrid), and Palácio Galveias (Lisbon).
