Having gained his first diploma in classical piano in 1997, Marco went on to discover the incredible world of jazz. Using his phenomenal technique and talent, he started to study with Ramberto Ciammarughi, himself an exceptional pianist and composer on the European jazz scene. Swiftly becoming a jazz appassionato, Marco gained a second diploma, this time in jazz, in 2005 at the Conservatoire of Perugia, under the tutorlage of Paolo Di Sabatino, achieving maximum votes.
Throughout this time, Marco continued to further his studies in jazz under the guidance of Ramberto Ciammarughi, researching increasingly in depth into the music and structure of jazz and discovering his own personal sense of style and self expression. April 2008 saw Marco complete his post graduate studies in jazz again winning maximum votes and high praise from the examiners, becoming a Doctor of Jazz!
As a composer, Marco spends much of his time writing jazz which he performs live in concert and in the summer of 2010 Marco recorded his latest album, Mosaico, at the prestigious Fazioli Concert Hall in northern Italy. Recording 11 tracks in just one day, this album was released on 15th January 2011 and features Marco's original pieces and jazz standards.
In 2009, Marco made a highly successful UK debut at the Cheltenham Jazz Fringe Festival perfoming his own original compositions & jazz standards to great acclaim where the organiser, Stefan Edwards said "Marco's performances were the highlight of the fringe festival".
2011 has been a great year for Marco with performances at Umbria Jazz, the Umbria Film Festival, Monterchi Festival, Arezzo Jazz, the Festival of Nations and the Valmarecchia Festival. He is due to perform at the Lancaster Music Festival with 3 gigs on the 15th and 16th October 2011, when he will be playing songs from Mosaico.

As a jazz soloist Marco regularly performs in Italy at concerts, private parties, corporate events & festivals. Together with talented contemporaries, Marco formed his own trio in 2007, the Marco Marconi Trio which can also be booked for events, clubs, festivals & private parties. Recently reformed in the summer of 2011, the Trio made a new album called "Foolish Things" which will be on release shortly.
