Pianist, Conductor & Composer
Eddy Grossenstein is a versatile artist: pianist, conductor, composer, and a prolific recording musician.
His career bridges classical music, film and audiovisual scoring, pop collaborations, and Easy Listening music compositions — a genre he often performs in Piano Recitals and that is distributed globally as Ambient Music.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Eddy began studying with professional pianists as a child and performed his first concerts at an early age.
He studied composition with the renowned Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, a pupil of Paul Hindemith and mentor to Brazilian icons such as Antonio Carlos Jobim and Caetano Veloso.
Coming from a family of German Lutherans originally from Hamburg and the village of Grossenstein near Leipzig, Eddy is also a descendant of Johann Carl Gross, 19th-century Mayor of Leipzig.
He earned his degree at the Chopin Conservatory in Warsaw, Poland, on a five-year scholarship.
His education was enriched by the insights of the legendary pianist Magda Tagliaferro and the esteemed concert impresario Frank Ross.
A Unique Path
Eddy has always carved his own path as an artist.
He performs piano recitals in alternative venues and his concerts blend classical repertoire with his own Ambient Music compositions, and he often gifts his recordings to the audience and hosts raffles to offer personal dedicatories of his pieces.
As a conductor, he served as principal of the Sinfonietta of Madrid, leading performances broadcast internationally. He has collaborated with the managers of legendary singers such as Plácido Domingo and Teresa Berganza, and received praise from celebrated pianists Alicia de Larrocha, Maria João Pires, and Edith Farnadi.
His repertoire spans much of the piano literature, with a special focus on Italian and German Baroque, Germanic Classic Genre and the Concert Music of Spain and South America — a combination of Germanic compositional structures infused with South American folklore.
Eddy Grossenstein is a member of the Academy of Music of Spain.
Artistic Vision
For Eddy, live music is more than performance:
“Live concerts enhance people’s ability to concentrate and multiply the sophistication of society.”
