In 1991, he toured Italy and Germany as a member of the Italian Youth Orchestra. In 1994, he was finalist at the Karajan Academy audition for the Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra. From 1994 to 1996, he attended the "free study" course with Rien de Reede at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (Holland). Luciano Tristaino has toured Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, Holland, Romania, Hungary, Australia and the U.S.A. and was invited as a soloist as well as a chamber musician to the most important music festivals.
