Homero Francesch

Homero Francesch (born 6 December 1947, Montevideo, Uruguay) is a Uruguay-born Swiss pianist.

He attended piano lessons under Santiago Baranda Reyes in Uruguay and in 1967 he was awarded a scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). He then went on to study in Munich under Hugo Steurer and Ludwig Hoffmann.

He has premiered the works of several contemporary composers including Hans Werner Henze's "Tristan". His recordings include a complete survey of Bartok's "Mikrokosmos" and Stravinsky's "Les Noces" under Leonard Bernstein alongside Martha Argerich, Cyprien Katsaris and Krystian Zimmerman.
