Alexandre Resende was born on May 13th 2011 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He began playing the piano at age 8 with Patrick Staeger, who himself had been his teacher when Alexandre was homeschooled. He therefore continued his piano lessons with Bernardo Aroztegui at the Atempy music school in Yverdon-les-Bains in the beginning of 2021. His first piano competition took place on May 28th 2022, the 11th International Piano Competition in Fribourg, where he won first prize as well as the prize for the best interpretation of the mandatory piece in category 1. He has continued to regularly participate in piano competitions since then, such as the CIP International Piano Competition where he won first prize in the final in Paris in 2023 (solo) and 2024 (solo & 4 hands). He then left homeschooling to join the Léon-Michaud school in the 11th grade after skipping 3 years of education, hence him completing school in 2023 at 12 years old instead of 15. Alexandre now studies at the Gymnase Auguste-Piccard in a specialized maturity class since the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year and has also joined the Lausanne Conservatory this year where he is continuing his piano studies with Guillaume Hersperger.
