About Cassio Vianna:

Cassio Vianna is a pianist, arranger, producer, music educator, and an award-winning composer whose work reflects a broad range of musical and cultural influences.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Vianna started his music studies at the age of 9, playing traditional hymns at a Presbyterian church and studying classical piano in his hometown of São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro. In his teens, he began developing his skills as a composer and interpreter of popular music and Brazilian jazz. Between 1993 and 1995, Vianna studied under Hungarian teacher Ian Guest, who had a great impact on Vianna's decision to pursue a career as a composer.

​From 1996 to 2009, Vianna engaged in recording and performing projects in the vibrant Rio de Janeiro music scene, including a short but successful career with the Brazilian jazz trio Dialeto Brasileiro. In 2009, Vianna moved to the U.S. to further his music studies.

​Cassio Vianna holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Uni-Rio), a Master of Music degree from Western Oregon University, and a Doctor of Arts degree in Jazz Studies from the University of Northern Colorado, where he studied with David Caffey.
