Federica Lorusso Trio

Born in Bari, Italy, Federica Lorusso (pianist, singer, composer) has always had a deep passion for the arts. A graduate in piano from the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, she also holds a master's degree in jazz singing and piano from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Her unique style, blending piano and voice harmoniously, sets her apart on the contemporary jazz scene.

As a bandleader, Federica released her debut album, Outside Introspections (ZenneZ/Abeat), in 2022, followed by Incontri in February 2025 under the Dutch label ZenneZ Records. Incontri, featuring Ben Van Gelder, was nominated for the 2025 Edison Jazz Award – Publieksprijs, a major recognition of her artistic talent.

She has performed at prestigious festivals and concert halls worldwide, including the Transition Festival in Utrecht, the Grachtenfestival in Amsterdam, the Athens Jazz Festival, JazzMi, Fano Jazz in Italy, and the Canarias Jazz Y Más International Festival.

Beyond her European training, Federica spent four pivotal months in New York, studying at The New School with renowned artists. This experience enriched her musical approach and deepened her understanding of jazz, significantly influencing the compositions on her latest album.
