About me
Bio
I am an argentinian-croatian pianist and composer based in the Netherlands. On top of my formal education being classical music and tango music-based, my curiosity always led me to explore new environments and possibilities in my artistic life. I consider myself a creative performer: I am a pianist who aims to create and play her own music and develop her own music style.
Professionally I have participated as a pianist, arranger and/or composer in many different ensembles internationally: from classical, to tango and jazz/world. I won several prizes and subsidies from national and international institutions, such as Instituto Nacional de la Música, Scholarship Scaramuzza’s piano technique in WKMT studios London, Holland Scholarship by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, Grada Van Beek-Donner Scholarship, Fonds Podium Kunsten NL, Stichting Droom en Daad, SENA Fonds, Gemeente Rotterdam, and Amartefonds.
Currently I perform as bandleader, pianist and composer/arranger of Quinteto Irreal and Cocoliche Trio as well as my own interdisciplinary project “SmartMusic! An Audiovisual Adventure” mixing tango, latin american rhythms and jazz/funk music.
Since 2018 I live in Rotterdam, Netherlands, where I became a Master of Music in World Music (piano tango/jazz composition) at CODARTS University of Arts, where I currently work as an Artistic Research Coach from the Masters Tango and Performance Practice Departments.
I also work as a freelance pianist, composer and arranger, collaborating with ensembles and artists around the world.
