Luciano Joseph Suárez moved to the Raleigh-Durham area from Italy after having lived, taught and performed overseas for over a decade. He has taught at North Carolina State University, Wake Technical Community College, Meredith College, Central Texas College, and The Durham Arts Council. He performs frequently in the Raleigh-Durham area as a sideman for various groups.

Although Luciano’s background is primarily classical, this Florida native ventured into jazz relatively later in his life, combining the rich cultural heritage with which he was raised to develop his own musical vocabulary. “Improvisation has always been a big part of who I am as a musician, regardless of what I am playing.”

Luciano holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Miami and a Master’s degree from Florida State University. He has studied with Bruce Holzman, Albert Kunze and José Costas. He has also performed in the masterclasses of Carlos Barbosa-Lima, Ricardo Iznaola, Yo Nishimura and Pepe Romero.
