Life

She began to study the piano at age two. She gave her first public performance at age three, and shortly after that was admitted to the National Conservatory of Music in Lima. She studied there with Luisa Negri and Teresa Quesada. After winning a concerto competition sponsored by the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru, she made her orchestral debut with that orchestra at age twelve. She was awarded a full scholarship to the Eastman School of Music, where she obtained both her bachelor's and master's degrees in three years.

The Organization of American States gave her a special grant that enabled her to study in the United States with the pianists Frank Glazer, Ellen Mack, Marilyn Neeley, Menahem Pressler and Harvey Wedeen, and in Europe with the Hungarian pianist Louis Kentner. In 1999 she earned a doctoral degree from the Catholic University of America in chamber music. In 2004, she was given the title of cultural ambassador by the Government of Peru. She performs with the National Symphony Orchestra (United States) as an adjunct pianist, and is a faculty member and regular performing artist at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music Summer Festival.[1] She performed at the Kreeger Museum,[2] and the Kennedy Center, Millennium Stage.[3]

She lives in Annandale, Virginia.[4]
