Leonardo Reyna

Born in Havana in 1985, Leonardo is a celebrated pianist, composer, and educator whose deep connection to Cuban music is rooted in his family. His grandfather, Rodolfo Reyna, was a violinist and arranger with the Orquesta Sensación, and his mother, a pianist, first introduced him to the piano. Leonardo’s training spans Latin America and Europe, including mentorship under the lineage of legendary pianist Claudio Arrau. He blends his Cuban heritage with classical mastery, winning over 15 international awards and composing music for films in Europe. His latest album, The Berlin Concert, fuses classical piano with early Cuban compositions, featuring Schumann’s “Carnaval” and Lecuona’s “Afro-Cuban Dances.” He recently recorded Chopin’s 24 Preludes and Carlos Fariñas’ “7 Sones Sencillos” at the iconic Emil Berliner Studios, continuing his dedication to both classical and Cuban traditions.
