About
Based in Southeastern Michigan, pianist John Etsell collaborates with musical artists from all around the world. His playing has been described as “well-balanced and sensitive” (Cleveland Classical) and “gorgeous, and heart-rending” (CASA Magazine).
​
He currently works with Detroit Opera, the University of Michigan, and Adrian College, and has been a pianist and vocal coach at the Brancaleoni International Music Festival in Piobbico, Italy, and The Institute for Young Dramatic Voices in Reno, NV.
​
Equally active in the instrumental realm, John is a member of the Lumino trio (luminomusic.com), which has been described as “just the sort of high-execution, high-ambition ensemble that Detroit’s chamber music world so desperately needs” (Avant Music News).
