Horacio Gutiérrez is a Cuban-born American classical pianist who was born in Havana and began performing publicly as a child before establishing his professional career in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. His repertoire has emphasised Romantic and early 20th-century works—particularly large-scale concertos and solo piano literature—and his long concert and recording career has contributed to American classical performance traditions through frequent concerto collaborations and international engagements.
