A pianist with a vast repertoire, Benedetto Lupo is also active in teaching; he gives master classes at important international institutions and is often invited to serve on the juries of prestigious international piano competitions. He holds the position of piano professor in the advanced courses of the National Academy of St. Cecilia in Rome, an institution of which he has been a full Academician since December 2015.
