Francesco Parrino

Francesco Parrino is an Italian classically trained pianist and composer known for his piano arrangements created entirely by ear. He began playing at age four and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Music in Classical Piano from the prestigious Arrigo Boito Conservatory in Italy. He launched his official YouTube channel in 2011 and later an Extras Channel in 2018. There, he shares piano adaptations of popular songs, movie themes, and soundtracks—each reimagined in his signature style. He also transcribes and publishes his own sheet music, available exclusively on Musicnotes.com. In 2017, he released his first album Piano Covers, followed by a growing catalogue of releases. Highlights include a studio recording of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 (2023), and his 17th covers album (2025), featuring renditions of Chiquitita, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and Strangers In The Night. A Steinway Artist since 2020, Francesco has contributed over 200 tracks to the Steinway Spirio catalog. He performs internationally as a guest artist for Explora Journeys and has appeared at numerous piano festivals, including Candlelight Concerts. In 2025, Francesco was featured in the Italian debut of the Steinway & Sons x Disney Mickey Mouse Limited Edition piano in collaboration with designer Elena Salmistraro, and released a pop-inspired studio version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody In Blue. His most recent project is his debut album of original piano compositions, Look Out Look In.
