Simon Tedeschi (born 1 May 1981) is a Boston-based classical pianist from Australia.
Simon Tedeschi was born in Sydney to Mark Tedeschi QC, the New South Wales Crown Prosecutor and a prominent photographer[1] and Vivienne Tedeschi, who is the daughter of a Polish Holocaust survivor, Lucy Gershwin, believed to be distantly related to George Gershwin.[2][3]
His headmaster at St Andrew's Cathedral School in Sydney dissuaded him from taking part in sports such as cricket, for fear of damaging his hands, and he was given a room to pursue his piano playing instead.[4]
