I'm blessed to be doing what I love--making music-- now for over fifty years and counting. Here I am updating my bio, learning a new operating system on my new computer, meeting new musicians, and singing more. I love it!!
Even after this year of the pandemic, I'm still very active, leading a musician's life. I've provided some video highlights on this website: StefScaggiari.com. Please check out my three areas of expertise-- Solo Classical Piano, Jazz Trio, and Soloist w/Orchestra. It's what I do. Enjoy the videos!
