Jure Gorucan is a Slovenian born, worldwide performing pianist. Known for his fresh, yet deep approach towards musical interpretation, Gorucan enchants his audiences with diligent attention to technique and respect for the historical context of music being performed. He studied piano in Germany at the HFMT Cologne under world-renowned expert piano pedagogues Arbo Valdma and Paulo Alvares.

 

 

Jure Gorucan has devoted over a decade to studying percussion instruments, which gives him a unique understanding of piano as a fundamentally percussive instrument. Other than achieving numerable prizes at the piano and percussion competitions, being multiple winners of solfege competitions in his early youth, he's capable of distinguishing the most subtle variations of sound, resulting in a highly refined control.

 

His influences range over a wide variety of genres and sometimes seemingly reach far out of the field of music – Jure Gorucan has a profound interest in the understanding of anatomy, psychology, culture and mysticism, all of which he strives to incorporate into his interpretations. Unlike most artists of our time, he also improvises and arranges his own music. He currently resides at his home in Slovenia.
