UNCSA Piano Fridays 1: Priscilla Navarro
About this Event
Called “a phenomenal talent” by the Atlanta Audio Club, Peruvian pianist Priscila Navarro performs solo recitals, chamber works, and concerti with orchestras throughout the U. S., Europe, Asia, and South America. She has been awarded first prize at many competitions, including the Liszt-Garrison International Piano Competition in Baltimore, Beethoven Piano Sonata Competition, International Chopin Competition of Texas, Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota, Imola City Awards in Italy, and Heida Hermanns International Music Competition in Connecticut. She received the Bach Prize at the City of Vigo International Piano Competition in Spain, where she was one of five finalists out of over 400 participants, with a jury presided by Martha Argerich. She also won the Christa Bach-Marschall Foundation prize at the 2022 Leipzig Bach Competition and the 2023 Astral Artists National Auditions.
A champion of Latin American music, Priscila made her Carnegie Hall solo recital debut in 2013 and returned twice in 2022. As a chamber musician, she has performed with a wide variety of artists, including violist Jodi Levitz, saxophonist Estel Vivo-Cassanovas and percussion duo Arx Duo. She also forms a piano duet with Dr. Michael Baron; their first album, released in 2021, received five-star reviews from American Record Guide and Fanfare and was followed by a Carnegie Hall premiere concert.
