About

I am a half French, half Venezuelan pianist who recently moved to NYC to pursue my Master of Music Degree at The Mannes School of Music in the studio of Eteri Andjaparidze. I grew up in a family of musicians so luckily the arts have always been part of my life! Communicating through music is a gift I cherish and will keep sharing for the rest of my life. It allows for new dialogues and sonorites to emerge into this world.

I started piano at the age of three with Carlos Urbaneja at the Mozarteum in Caracas. Then I studied in the conservatory of Paris until 2020. While studying in Paris, I started composing and performing my own pieces, won national competitions and studied jazz. I recently got my BA Summa Cum Laude studying with professor Volodymyr Vynnytsky at the College of Charleston. There, I had the wonderful opportunity to play as a soloist with orchestra under conductor Yuriy Bekker. Finally, I started singing last year and was cast as Suzanna in "Le Nozze di Figaro".

Music

My focus is in Western classical music composed between the 17th and 20th century. This includes music composed by J.S. Bach, Chopin, Mozart, Prokofiev, Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Debussy, Franck, Ginastera, Piazzola, and Schumann among others. Classical Western music comes from the Western culture tracing its roots back to Gregorian Chant which emerged in the 9th century. Classical music left a tremendous legacy shaping the arts and culture for the last five centuries. Thankfully, today classical music continues to be composed by wonderful artists like Steve Reich and Caroline Shaw among others.

Aside from Western classical music, I perform my own pieces which are influenced by latin rhythms, 20th century classical music and jazz. Improvisation played an important role in my family. My grandfather as well as my uncles always improvised and composed which greatly influenced me. Moreover, studying jazz and growing up in Venezuela also impacted my creativity and inspires my compositions.
