A young luminary in the world of classical guitar, Leonela Alejandro has established herself as a captivating artist bringing forth power and energy to her performances. A native of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, Leonela has triumphed with over ten first-prize placements in international competitions, culminating with her being awarded the Rose Augustine Grand Prize in the 2024 Guitar Foundation of America competition.
Apart from her celebrated resume in competition settings, Leonela has established herself as a soloist in orchestral settings. She has performed multiple concerti with the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Roselín Pabón including Antonio Vivaldi’s Lute Concerto in D major, RV 93, and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Guitar Concerto No.1 in D Major, Op.99. She was the soloist in the recent premiere of Atanas Ourkouzounov’s Concertino for Guitar, Percussion and Strings under the direction of Paul Hostetter. She also has appeared as a solo mandolinist with the Schwob School of Music Wind Ensemble as a soloist in Ottorino Respighi’s Roman Festivals under the direction of Jamie L. Nix.
