Genc Tukiçi is a pianist and composer of dual nationality, Albanian and French. 

He graduated from the Conservatory of Tirana and the Normal School of Music of Paris-Alfred Cortot, where he currently works.

His international career as a concert pianist has led him to play in the greatest musical halls.  Some of the concerts, held at the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad in Switzerland, Salle Gaveau and Cortot in Paris, and the prestigious theater Town Hall in New York, have earned him recognition as one of the most  remarkable pianists of his generation.

He received the prestigious Nino Rota prize which rewards “a great musician, of international level” and particularly noted his “superb interpretations made from heart and spirit, in perfect symbiosis with the orchestra.”

His interpretations have been recorded, most notably with the symphony orchestras of the Opera of Tirana and Macedonia, the Russian Tchaikovsky Orchestra, and with the orchestras of the Albanian and Slovenian Radio and Television.

Genc Tukiçi accompanies the greatest performers, like Inva Mula and Olen Çesari with whom he performs regularly.

In 2012, his testimonial, published under the title “La musique en 3D,” appeared in a book about the piano and the art of accompaniment.

As a composer, he has created and recorded various pieces for piano and orchestra, including several musical “Paraphrases” on themes by Puccini, Verdi or Offenbach.

A CD of his compositions – inspired by patriotic themes – with Inva Mula was released in November 2012: pieces for soprano, piano, and orchestra.
